[mso] Mailmerge in Office 2007

I am having a problem getting mail merge to work with emails in Office 2007.
Let me outline the process as per what used to work in Office 2003.
 

I would make a word document and then activate the mailmerge toolbar. Then I
would link this to a data file which is an excel file containing Firstname
and email address (the topline of the excel file is the data labels.) I
would then insert the "Firstname" field into the email and then using the
mailmerge wizard prompts go to the merge to email prompt. This comes up with
a box in which I can enter the subject line and then when I tell it to it
then goes on to send an email to all of the people highlighted in the excel
file.

 

Now in Office 2007 I am doing exactly the same things except that when I get
to the final stage of sending the mails to Outlook it does not? The box
comes up and I can enter the subject line but when I click the finish button
nothing happens. 

 

I have converted the data file to Excel 2007 version and both Outlook and
Word are also 2007 versions. They are on a completely new laptop. My current
Office is the trial version that came with the laptop but I have also
purchased a full version of 2007 to be installed when that expires.

 

Any solutions would be gratefully received!!

 

Warm regards,

 

Ian Elliott
