Mail merge query using Office 2003 & Word

[Helen Castle]

Hi there,

I am trying a mail merge using Office 2003, creating the document in Word.
I want to check all my family history contacts in my email address books.

When I went through the whole thing I hit "send to email" and it flashed the
200 emails past me on the screen.

I then went my Outlook sent items and cant find the 200 emails.

Has anyone done this before?

Can I assume the emails have all gone but dont show in my outbox/sent items?

Have you looked in the draft/output folder -- maybe it's waiting for

you to "send" each individual one.

I've never used that feature of mail merge, but I do know if I pick
the "file/send to mail" I get a mail message in outlook that I then have
to close and send.

Not there either - I just did a test and sent 4 emails to myself and nothing
worked

Maybe its faulty my end

Will wait 24 hours and try again

thanks

I have WORD 2000, and can do mail merge with Outlook. I have never done it
before, but I just sent myself a message. I wrote the message in WORD, then
chose "Send to mail recipient as an attachment". When the email message
came up, I chose myself as the recipient, and hit Send. Worked fine. Don't
know about Office 2003. Good luck.

Is Outlook your default mailer? If not, check Outlook _Express_, they might

be there under it's sent folder.
