[Year 12 IT Apps] Any ideas please

I have done this with Word 2007. 

Just include a field in your database where you store the email
addresses and when you want to do the mail merge (Finish and Merge in
the Mailings Tab), you select Send Email Messages and in the next window
point the To: window to the email field. And it will send an email to
each entry in the database and save the emails in your Sent Items in
Outlook.

I don't think this is doable in Office 2003.

Dear List

 

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to solve a problem for
a friend of mine. 

 

He needs to mail merge a large number of employees in his workplace and
then send out individual emails with the data from the mail merge. Does
anyone know of a way to mailmerge into a email and then to be able to
hit send once which will then send out individual emails with each
persons details on each email. 

 

The mail merge part is standard, but I am not sure of getting it into an
email (apart from attaching the word files to each seperate email and
sending them individually, which is a problem when you have 500
employees)

 

 thanks in advance for any suggestions
