Mail merge for Word XP by email through Lotus Notes

[Trebor666]

I am unable to Mail Merge a document as an attachement to email through Notes.

Have Notes 5.0.11 Client and Word XP installed on a Windows XP Pro OS. Notes is configure as my default email system and I can send to Notes from Word no problem. The problem arises when I want to set up a mail merge. The mail merge works fine to a new document, when I then select mail merge to email having ensured that there is a field set for email addresses the system completes the task with no errors but appears to have done nothing. I check my sent folder in Notes for any email and there is no record. I check the test email address I was sending to and again no email.

Any ideas as what is wrong?

Hi,

Many things can be wrong and I do not have an immediate answer but I can give you a tip about another way to establish a mail merge:

It is possible to create a complete mail merge within Notes using Word. That means the contacts are in Notes and the actual Word document is embedded in Notes also. The user can then run the whole mail merge operation from within Notes using a button.

There is a complete explanation on how to do this in the latest issue of e-Pro magazine (

Just tought you would like to know this!
