Merged Email Document is Underlined

When I create an email merge using a word document with an excel document
containing a list of email addresses, my email message appears in blue and
underlined any reasons as to why this should happen?

If you are talking about the Excel email address area, it sees it as a
hyperlink by default, i.e., sets it like a mailto:

If you are talking about the email text that is embedded from Word, it
sounds like you have carried over a formatting code (hyperlink text) from the
Word doc. Use plain text for the source. Or, copy the document as a paste
special - plain text into a new document and reformat as needed, before you
merge. You may want to do a select all and set the font to color and codes as
plain vanilla text w/o attributes, i.e., get rid of underlines, bolds, etc.

Thank you - I have gone back into word and tried this. Upon opening format,
font I noticed that colour was defaulted to blue and that underline was not
showing as none. I have now changed to auto colour and no underline. This
seems to have fixed the problem.
