email merge

[jpodell]

I already merged my contacts list from excel 2003 into my letter on word
2003. Now, when I click on the email merge button it won't email. I usually
use thunderbird as my email client but i read on the word help site that I
needed to use a compatable email client so I set up outlook 2003 to carry my
email. I have tried sending my test copy to myself in different formats but
this does not work either. When I tried to send the whole list the program
looked like it was busy for a few moments but it didn't actually do any
thing. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi J.P.,

You may want to also post this in the MS Word Mailmerge
newsgroup (link below) and include information on how
you've setup your email letter and how you're attaching
the data file.
