How do I select a particular account to send my mail merge emails

[Toubab]

Using Windows XP2 and Office XP with Word 2002 .. I wish to send mail merge
e-mails to my customers who have asked to be on on my Newsletter update list.

Even though I have saved the Word document using the account I wish to send
the e-mails from .. the mails always default to sending from my default
account and there seems no way in which to be able to choose the account I
wish to send them from.

What is the trick please ?

You need to be logged in to the mail system with that account.

Thanks for your answer Doug,

But I'm sorry, I don't understand you.

I have my private default account from my ISP and other business e-address
accounts in Outlook to choose which ones I send and receive mail from.

How is it possible to log in separately from one of these business accounts,
all of which run through my one ISP ?

When I send a normal e-mail from Outlook, I can choose which account I want
it sent from, why is there not, or where is, the option to choose an account
when mail merging please ?

Set the account that you want to be used as the Default account under
Tools>Email Accounts in Outlook.
