Mailmerge and email...

Hi, I really need some help!

I'll start by saying I'm using Word 2000 - yes, I know, I need to catch up with the times, but unemployment makes that kind of impossible at the moment financially.

Anyway, I'm coordinating this HUGE thing in my community, and needing to send out emails to 165 volunteers. I've pulled the data from Access into my main document in Word to personalize each page to reflect the volunteer's name, email address, volunteer position, etc. Now, all I need to do is find an easy way to make each of the 165 pages email themself to the recipient!

Please say there's an easy way to break each of the pages out into an individual document, or maybe even there's a way to merge to email - or is that the newer improved version of Word.

Any help deeply appreciated. Time is kind of of the essence here, I'm running a little late with this stuff.

Thank you,

dina

If one of the fields in the database contains the email addresses, you can
execute the merge to email.
