I have no idea why it is trying to print instead of sending email...that's a
new one, unless you are telling it to do that. By default, mail merges DO
print (since that's what they are usually used for)...make sure you are
choosing email messages in the FIRST step of your merge
However, I do know you cannot merge to a distribution list if you want each
person to get a personalized mail...to do this, you must create a separate
contacts folder for these people, then put all of the names in that folder
(not in a distribution list), then choose that folder to merge to.

Subject: [mso] Outlook - mail merge problem in email
I use distribution lists and would occasionally like to personalize the
message for the individual. Is it possible to mail merge into email?
Using Outlook 2002, my contact names. All goes well until it is to sent
the merged mail by email. I have chosen email in the mail merge options,
but it keeps sending me to word and then trying to print! "Help" isn't
showing a solution unless I'm asking the wrong question
TIA!
Karen
