Email merge

Hi Keely

Yes you can do an E-Mail merge using Word 2007. The message then appears personalized and doesn't require the use of bcc.

You'll need an Excel file with a list containing first name, last name and their e-mail address. Alternatively you can use Outlook Contacts.

Start with a blank document in Word
Click on the Mailing tab.
Select Start Mail Merge, Step by Step Mailmerge Wizard.
Select the option E-mail Messages.
Click Next twice.
At Step 3 browse to your Excel file (or choose Outlook Contacts)

At Step 4 start creating your message

Hi <firstname> (Click More Item... to add <firstname> field)

type your message and your
usual signature or way of ending an email.

At Step 5 preview your e-mail message.
At Step 6 click Electronic Mail.
Add a Subject for your meassage

Note: As soon as you press OK your message will be sent to
all recipients!

Hope that helps. You could practice by sending a message to doug@stl-training.co.uk using e-mail merge!
