Mail merge

[Guest]

My company recently upgraded our Outlook, but is not upgrading Office until
the Summer. This is causing a problem for me because I am now unable to do a
mail merge because my version of Word (2003) does not match Outlook (XP). Is
anyone aware of a way that I could make a mail merge work without upgrading?
Is it possible to have outlook use word pad instead of word to do a merge?

Thank you

No, Word and Outlook must be the same version for this. Note that your
Outlook version is older than your Word version and not the other way
around.

Thank you Roady, so basically I'm screwed.

Ask them to upgrade Outlook as well.

They won't do it. Thank you for your help. I'll just have to figure out
another way.
