Hi, Roy.
Maybe I should explain.
Mailmerge is one of the simpler features. They've recently screwed it all up in XP and above, but it's still a fairly simple and a feature commonly used by "lightweight" MS Office users...the kind who may not even have Excel installed.

My whole point here is to do it using Word with whatever data source is provided.

However, please DO write a code submission (now or when the submission form becomes available--which is hopefully soon!) to do a *mailmerge* from Excel. It will be an alternative for many!

Thanks!
