Did you know if you have Outlook 2003 and Office 2003 or better, you can merge to an email? This means that you can type ONE email in Word and merge it to your entire PC Newsletter list. Since each email is sent separately, no more splitting them into a bunch of different groups b/c you can only send 10, 20, or 50 at a time. Also, this allows you to personalize it as well. Hi, "customer"! Of course, you have to have your contacts set up with first and last names.
Since each email is sent separately, it SHOULD go through okay. Regardless, I love the personalization especially.
1. Type email as you want it to send.
2. Click Tools, Letters & Mailing, Mail Merge
3. Choose Email Messages at the right, next
4. Click whatever option you like and next
5. Select from Outlook Contacts, Choose Contacts Folder, Outlook, select the correct folder (to make it easy, you will want to create a separate folder for your newsletter recipients), next
6. If you already created your newsletter, just add the greeting line where you want it (you can change it so it's first name, remove the Dear for your own wording and remove the Sir or Madam for no first name entries...whatever works for you).
7. I suggest previewing it. Click on the ABC in the middle of the tool bar to go between "Greeting Line" and what actually will send. , NEXT
8. Merge Electronic Mail, Add subject line, OK (THIS SENDS so only do this if you are ready to send the email).
Hope this helps someone.
