Adding an item at the end of each line
I copy and pasted a column from Excel to Word. I need to put a semi-colon at
the end of each line so I can then copy and paste into my e-mail to send a mass mailing. Any ideas how I can select the entire document and add the semi-colon to the end of each line? I have 10,000 e-mail addresses and don't want to do it by hand to each line. Thank you! -- Nicole Ward |

Adding an item at the end of each line
Why did you move it from Excel? That is a better database for your email
addresses. Also, while I can tell you how to easily add a semicolon at the end of each email address in Excel, you don't need to do this. :-) Instead of trying to send an email to mass recipients on a single email, you should send each person an individual email. This will help make sure your email reaches the intended recipients. Many email programs will treat emails with a massive list of email addresses in the message header as spam. (Not to mention those who harvest email address for sending spam LOVE to get their hands on these types of emails!) I'm also wondering if you really do have 10,000 email addresses and plan to use them all in the same message header if you'd even be able to send it to all of them at once. A better method is to use Mail Merge which will send the same email to each individual - the result is 10,000 emails that you didn't have to manually prepare yourself. It sounds like you already have your data source created in Excel so the hard part is done. Just specify your main document is for E-Mail Messages and use your Excel workbook as the data source. If you need help on walking through the process then here's an article that contains step-by-step instructions. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...349201033.aspx Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
