Mail merge issues/ security delays with using Word to create merged emails

[peter]

Hi,

I recently updated my officed product to OFfice 2000 sp-1
then 2 then 3.

Before updating I had no troubles using Word to merge
emails. However since updating I now get a HIGHLY
annoying and TIME consuming window that asks me
permission to automatically generate an outgoing email.
Then I have to WAIT 5 second and CLICK YES per merged
email. If you are trying to maintain a list of some sort
and send 50-100 emails, this is indeed very annoying.

Any assitance to eliminate or by-pass this step would be
GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

I don't think there's anything to get around it completely with
Outlook/Word 2000, but there is a utility you can download called
Express ClickYes which will do the job of clicking that Yes button for
you, so you don't have to babysit the project. More info here:

FWIW, Outlook 2002 and Word 2002 (updated with a specific patch)
eliminate that warning dialog when doing a mail merge, so you might want
to consider upgrading, or perhaps wait for the release of Office 2003
later this year.
