Hi all,

I'm working in a Win XP environment using Office 2000.
This is what I want to do in Outlook 2000:

I want to generate a mailing starting from an Excel-sheet.
I want to extract this infor to determine who this mailing has to be
sent to.
The name of every person has to appear as well at the top of the
message.

I know there is a possibility to make standard letters in Word. This
is similar, and I know there is a mail merge tool in Outlook as well.
I just can't get it figured out how to do this.

Could anybody give me a hand?
Thanks in advance.

Stevie.
 
Start Word, then use its Tools | Mail Merge command to launch the merge
process. You'll choose the Excel sheet as the data source and output the
results to mail messags.
 
Thanks for your help.

I wondered if it were possible in a document with some 10 letters to
specify (using eg section breaks) that every separate letter has to be
a separate mail message?

Thanks in advance for your quick reply.

Stevie.
 
It's really up to you to decide whether you want to send 10 messages to each
person or one. Mail merge, however, will send only one message to each
recipient. So, if you want to send 10 messages, you need to perform 10
merges, one for each message that you want to send.
