email merges problem in 2003

Sue,
I have been reading about the Mail Merge to E-mail issues, and I need one
more piece of information, so I am adding my post here.

To get rid of the "allow access for 1 minute" message, when sending out a
mail merge, the answer was previously stated as "use HTML Format" to by pass
this.

I have saved a Word mail merge template as HTML and still get this. What
exactly was meant by "use HTML." How does one use HTML in this way? (My
FrontPage 2002 doesn't have a mail merge feature, either, that I saw)

(I am using Word 2000, and Outlook 2003).
I have Word 2003 but I don't use it because I don't want to upgrade my Adobe
Acrobat to 6, which would be needed...

Will Word 2000 do the "allow-access-message-less" mail merge to E-mail?

When you perform a Word mail merge to email, one of the questions asked by
the merge wizard is whether the format should be HTML, plain text, or
document attachment. Only HTML avoids the security prompts. We don't know
why, but we're glad to have it.

Mail merge requires matching Outlook and Word versions. If you have Outlook
2003, you need Word 2003.
