(1) I was able to load my BCC field with the pasted Excel email addresses,
but it loads vertically in BCC, just like my Excel column, and did not
convert to the usual email field horizontally. Will these still send OK?
Also, vertical field retained spaces between some, just as my Excel list did,
because not all names from original Excel list had email addresses associated
with them. Is this a problem for the send as well?
(2) Even better, I was able get everything into Mail Merge, with a separate
document ready to send for each email addressee. To send them, I tried
File/Send to: Mail Recipient. Got this Error Message: "Word could not load
the e-mail envelope. This could be caused by a network connection problem or
a problem with your Office Installation." I use Outlook for my Email and
have not had a problem before. So -- how do I send this great mass email now?

Mark....

Your Table to Text may have been grayed out because you had highlighted
text
outside of the table. That is a common error.

The article Anne referred to is what I do. There is an incomplete
sentence
in it that I didn't understand, but the gist of it is there. The only
other
thing I do is to insert other merge fields from the spreadsheet. This
only
refers to the address block (or the individual fields), but not other
fields.
Those are important to me in most of the mass e-mailing I do.

Good Luck with this.
