Create a distribution list in Outlook and send your e-mail to the
distribution list.

Is there a way to send a single email message to multiple recipients
simultaneously so that all of these recipients appear in the "To:"
field for this message rather than sending the message separately to
each individual? This would be useful when send email to a group of
owners for a certain product, project or service as opposed to
sending individual messages to each or for sending a message to a
specific individual and their manager or administrative assistant.

I have tried creating a Mail Merge field consisting of several email
addresses (comma-delimited and semicolon-delimited lists of SMTP
addresses or Outlook Address Book Display Names) and selecting this
field as the "To:" field in the Merge to E-mail Message Options but
it doesn't work.

Summary of results:

- Using comma-delimited SMTP email addresses results in a Check Names
error messsage which indicates that Outlook doesn't recognize the
comma-delimited SMTP email addresses and suggests replacing the
commas with semicolons.

- Using semicolon-delimited SMTP email addresses results in a Check
Names error messsage which indicates that Outlook doesn't recognize
the semilcolon-delimited SMTP email addresses.

- Using semicolon-delimited Display Names from the Outlook Address
Book (Personal or Global) results in a Check Names error messsage
which indicates that Outlook doesn't recognize the
semilcolon-delimited SMTP email addresses.

I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.5604.5703) and Microsoft
Office Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5703) from Microsoft Office Professional
Edition 2003.

Any guidance is appreciated.
