Be careful of BCC tho...many spam filters will delete mail when there are multiple addresses in the bcc field Just fyi...bcc used to be a courteous way to send mails to people without sharing their addresses...now it's considered "spam" by many ISP filters (grrrr) And using the CC field or a distribution group in the CC field will not give Robert what he wants...he wants each person to get an individual mail...cc and distribution lists will show ALL email addresses. Robert..the cool thing about using a mail merge, is not only will each person get an individual email, but you can personalize them so the actual message body includes their own name, etc. (tho I will admit, the mailmerge to emails feature in versions of Word previous to 2002 were kinda buggy...but in the later versions it works great) Linda Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com ABC Free Ezine ~ Free Ebooks and Tutorials *all outgoing mail scanned by Norton AV.
