Default Email Mail Merge Question

Sorry, I missed the Email in the title of your original message.

If you have the e-mail addresses in the data source, you can then execute
the merge to E-mail in which case, the Merge to E-mail dialog box will
appear in which you can select the field in the data source that contains
the e-mail addresses and enter a Subject line to be used in the messages and
select the format for the messages.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.

I went into Outlook and created a new contacts list based on the emails in
my
Excel file. I successfully merged... the downside is the following:
1. subject field of the email was blank (no text)
2. the email address was from the wrong email account

How to I rectify the above?

I
have created an Excel file that will be used as my data source. With
this
being said, I would like to to know how to do the following, as I am not
quite understanding/following the nuances of Word 2007 when it comes to
mail
merge:

How do I send an email that contains specific information grabbed from my
Excel data source. The specific information will be sent to only a
specific
personal, not everyone in my data source; i.e.: XXXX has entered her dog
named XXXX, whose registration number is XXXX, in class XXXX, show XXXX.
How
do I set this up?
