Complicated Mail Merge that is over my head.
 

Currently I am trying to send a mass email to about 2000 recipients. The
contact information was given to me in excell. I have figured out how to
import each contacts first name, last name, business address, and email into
my contacts in outlook as well as initiate a mail merge from word.

I am almost there, but I also need to have a portion of the email that
provides a unique UserID number to each recipient, but when Im importing the
data, The numbers dont appear. I start at 5000 and go on to 6144, but when
trying to set that column as the source of data, the first contact shows
their UserID field as "F1" not 5000, and then on to the bottom of the list,
the next number doesnt display, It displays the email address of the previous
contact.

Perhaps I'm doing this in far too complicated of a way.

I need to send out an email that addresses each contact by their first and
last names, the makes reference to their business name, the provides them
with a unique pin number. How can I do this?
