Ability to Use Word Mail Merge to Email Multiple Recipients
This has likely been suggested numerous times but I would like to add my to
emphasize the importance of this function. One serious functionality that is lacking from Word mail merge is the ability to send a record in a merged document by email to multiple email addresses. For example, it is very important to be able to send out an identical email to a client that has multiple email addresses. There are, I believe, some macros that can circumvent this issue. However, Word mail merge is one of the primary bulk email tools of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and the use of macros in that environment is not feasible. Therefore, this functionality is particularly important for Microsoft Dynamics CRM users who rely on Word mail merge as their primary bulk email method. Ideally, it would be possible to include multiple email addresses, separated by semi-colons, in the email field used by Word mail merge to send out emails. If there is only one email address, only one email is sent out for that record. If there are multiple email addresses, multiple identical emails are sent out for that record.

Ability to Use Word Mail Merge to Email Multiple Recipients
It would be quite feasible to develop an add-in that provided this
functionality "seamlessly" to the user. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Ability to Use Word Mail Merge to Email Multiple Recipients
While I think that it is not horribly difficult to write a script to do this,
I still can't believe that it isn't a default feature. Honestly, isn't the fact that it is easy to add also an argument for making it a standard feature? In addition, Why can't I use a semicolon separated email column to send out to multiple recipients? It is literally a joke that this does not work. I consistently have to work around simple to anticipate problems that are trivial to implement. This is an indication of poorly written software. That being said, let this be another formal request to add this feature into word mail merge.
