Hi,
I am doing a mailing using Outlook 2002, Win XP HE.
I have a message that says:
........ (company name)...............
I manually put the company name in there (unfortunately).
However it appears also in separate places later-on in the email.
I would like to have it automatically update later-on in the message based
on what I manually input for the 1st instance of it (as above).
Is this possible and if so how???
Tx a lot.

Sue, Tx for your reply.
I cannot actually use it with Word.
I do not have a list of contacts for this particular one but have to go
through an online directory and copy the email address from there....
I cannot convert the html online directory to a usable database
unfortunately.
Any other suggestions...?
Tx,
S
 
If you have to copy and paste anyway, why not copy into an Excel worksheet or even a csv file that you could use with a standard document and mail merge? Or do you send just one message today, one tomorrow, and so consider mail merge to be overkill?

Sue,
I can do the former but have to do the latter on an ongoing basis so I need
a solution for the latter.
Is there a way then?
Tx,
S
