How can I change the sender in email mail merge from Word?

[Guest]

When creating an email message from Outlook, I can click to "From" box and
select one of my clients. The resulting message will appear on the
recipient's inbox as "From **** (ie. me) on behalf of **** (ie. my client)".

Can I get this effect when using Word to merge a mass mailing to email? ie.
I set the document up in Word, attach it to an Excel spreadsheet recipients
list and then distribute the document via email.

The resulting email shows as "From **** (ie. me)".

The only, and extremely cumbersome, way I have found round this is to set a
spare email address as my default account in Outlook and set the name of that
account as "From **** (ie. me) on behalf of **** (ie. my client)" and then to
change the default account back to my normal email address afterwards.

I am working as a sole trader in Outlook, Word and Excel 2000, so no
Exchange Server.

Best wishes. H7

You've already figured out the solution.
