Sending group e-mail showing individual names in To: section

[jeancancan]

I am using Outlook 2000 and Microsoft Word 2000. In sending an e-mail, I
would like to have each recipient's name in the To block, making it more
individually sent. Do I start in Word and set up a merge using my contacts?
or do I start in Outlook?

I have been looking and can't get anywhere. I also have Microsoft and
Outlook 2003 on my laptop, in case I can't use 2000 for this mailing.

Both computers use MS XP Professional.

Thank you, Jean

Yes, that's exactly it. For best results, start the merge with the Tools | Mail Merge command in your Contacts folder.

You can start either place.
