The mail merge thing was a disaster....her Outllook was slower than
molasses when doing so..
...so..my question again:
does Outlook LIMIT the number of addresses being put in a distribution
list and if so..is there is a way to make that limit higher..and if
not..why does my boss get a message telling her she is going over the limit
(or some similar message)???
thanks
