Re: Nothing happens when I emailmerge

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The Data key can be corrupted even without SP1, of course :-)

If deleting it does work for you, that could prove to be a really useful piece of information.

darn - ran diagnositics yesterday - didn't help.

Don't have SP1 installed - heard too much scary stuff about it to jump in yet.

I will read the link and see if that helps.

FWIW it does work here (Office 2007 SP1)

Unfortunately this problem is not unknown, even on those old versions, but I have never been able to find the underlying cause. The thing that seems to fix the largest number of problems in this area is to do a check and repair (i.e. Office button->[Program] Options->Resources->run Microsoft Office Diagnostics)

Also, if you've just moved to SP1 it seems I am not the only one who has had to save and delete Word's Data key in the registry to get some things to work again (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm ).

Hi MVP's. I'm a little desperate to get this working. I have been doing and teaching this for years on all older version so why can't I make it work on 2007?

Here's what I do:

Open Outlook (leave Word closed) and select certain Contacts ( group by State, then Category go get the batch I want)
Tools | Mailmerge

Choose Merge to email | Type a subject | OK - Word starts up

Use the Insert merge fields button to get to Outlook's data fields and pop them in
Finish and Merge | Send email messages.

Nothing happens. No emails sent. No messages on screen.
This exact sequence has worked on all previous versions. I leave it with all the default settings eg Selected Contacts and HTML. I click ONLY what's described above. Honest.
