Word mail merge - emailing drops footer.

Hello,

I have VBA code that creates a mail merge (testing in Word 2007).
The code verifies the datasource for an email address and if it has one, then the document is emailed.

All functionality for the mail merge seems to work.
The problem is that when the email is performed, the page footer is dropped and is not included in the email.
Even when trying the mail merge emailing function manually, the footer still isn't included.

The logo, text and textboxes are all included.

Any suggestions on what I can do so that the footer is included with the document when emailing?

I have also posted this in the VBA forum, although the response what that if it doesn't work when manually trying the email, then it's a not necessarily a VBA issue.

Thanks.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving wasn't meant for you!
 
When you perform an email merge from Word, it ignores the header or footer, so you need to include all text that's to be part of the email in the body of the document.
 
Hi Larena,

Thanks for the reply.
