Emailmerge not working in Publisher
I'm using Publisher 2007 with the e-mail merge feature. In the email
preview, all my records look fine. But when I send the e-mails, they contain the merge fields themselves name company name etc instead of the merged data. I have several merge fields inserted throughout my text box. The only way I got anything to work correctly is to limit it to one merge field early in a small, separate text box. But I want to insert other merge fields throughout my document. I am using Outlook 2007, however I have a specific list created for the merge so fields are not being merged from Outlook.

Emailmerge not working in Publisher
I have having the same problem as reported by karlsonj
I have a simple letter with just one Name field and my recipient names come from an Excel file. Everything looks perfect in the preview but the emails still containthe fieldname name. When I insert the same field name in the Subject line, that works OK even in the generated emails. (Office 2007)

Emailmerge not working in Publisher
Yes I did Mary.
I have the exact same problem as the others on this thread. I can add a field from a database, and I can see it correctly in the email previews. However when I send the emails, they all apear with the merge field name e.g. first name only instead of the content of the merge field "Phil" that I saw a second ago in the preview.

Emailmerge not working in Publisher
I am not an expert on email merges. I have a buddy that does this weekly but he
uses Word without an issue. Maybe merging the data field cells would be a solution for you. There is a application that is linked from the Microsoft web site that could be helpful. It has a trial version. Looks promising. http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/mail_...rketplace.html -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Phil Abraham" wrote in message ... Yes I did Mary.

Emailmerge not working in Publisher
Hi Mary, thanks for your help. The Mapilab didn't help, and I didn't want to
convert to Word. I did however clarify the problem enough that I can actually use Publisher email merge. It appears that only the "last" merge field is not converted to data. I added three fields , and the first two filled correctly with data, but the other remained as a merge field mergefield. It also appears that this is because I didn't "leave" that field. If after I drop the merge field I click outside of the text box, even that "last" merge field fills correctly. Problem for me at least is resolved. Again thanks for the help Mary.
