Mail merge using Access, Word & Outlook

[Sheila D]

Hi

I currently send bulk e-mails using WOrd mail merge with Access thro Outlook
Express. I understand that if I wnat HTML format I have to use Outlook. Does
this mean that I have to have all the e-mail addresses in Outlook rather than
use my existing Access/Word structure?

If so is there a way to automate thais as Access controls all my customer
info and I don't want to have to double entry into Outlook.

Thanks for any help
