I have WIN 7 Home Premium (service pack 1) 64-bit. I have several email addresses including gmail & hotmail and I use Windows Live Mail version 2012. I do not have Outlook.
I have been asked to do some email merging for a club I belong to. The data source is an Excel spread sheet with names and email addresses and other data. I have carefully studied what must be done and all goes well when I send emails to people who are listed in the contacts section of my WLM. But many of the members listed in the table are not in my contacts list so the Word mailmerge system stops when it gets to someone not listed. I am fairly sure this is the reason because I have experimented with an address in and not in my contacts list.
Should I export everyone from the Excel table to a csv file and then import it into my contacts list or does anyone know a better and neater way?
