Email Mail Merge to HTML format using Word 2007???
Hi,
thanks for your help. still have not phoned microsoft. will do soon "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Sorry I couldn't get any further, but hope you will feel able to share any solution even if it does cost... Peter Jamieson "Laila" wrote in message ... Hi Peter, Nope, just the one profile. *sigh* I dont have warranty with microsoft, it is an OEM software, but it is important I will pay whatever fees microsoft charges. Once again, thank you for all your help. regards laila "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Hi Laila, At this point I am not sure what to suggest. Do you have more than one Outlook profile? You can /probably/ find out in WinXP by looking at Control Panel, then "Switch to Classic View", then "Mail", then "Show Profiles". One explanation I have seen in the past for this kind of behaviour is that Word sends its mails to the "currently-logged in" profile or "default" profile, and if that isn't the same as your "normal" profile, it's possible that the "MAPI subsystem", which deals with all this stuff, never gets to send the messages. Although I am way outside my area of experttise at this point, unfortuantely so far I haven't been able to get any further by asking the "MAPI" people/ If you are entitled to some free support (e.g. warranty support) from MS then I strongly recommend that you contact them directly (most people here are just volunteers who do not work for Microsoft). Although I've mentioned this problem to MS and explored various possibilities, I have never been able to replicate it myself so have not been able to submit my own incident.

You'd need to ask the Outlook people for more details, but these days, I think it would be fairly typical for your PC to be set up in "Cached Exchange Mode", in which case it gets its data from the Exchange Server but mirrors it in an "Offline" file which has the extension ..ost.

If you have some other kind of Outlook configuration, you will probably be able to find out the name and location of any .pst using a similar approach/ I researched including hidden folders (had forgotten about this last time I serached) found 4 .pst files I scanned 3 and recieved the ssame messag for each. They all had damage and the scan fixed them.
