Thanks, Gordon, that's exactly what I WANT to do but I'm so sorry, apparently
I'm an idiot !!! When I open Word, and choose Tools, then I don't see
anything called Mail Merge Wizard. If I choose Tools Letters and Mailings
then I see a choice called Mail Merge and a choice called Letter Wizard. I
chose Mail Merge. It opens a nice mail merge guide that I have used many
times before to create LETTERS to print on a PRINTER. I've never used it to
create EMAIL MESSAGES to send from OUTLOOK EMAIL. Obviously the steps are
different, and I can't figure them out !!! DUH!!! :-( These are the steps I
did so far, but somewhere I'm just not making the
connection:

Open a blank Word document

Choose Tools Letters and Mailings Mail Merge

On the right, choose the radio button “E-mail messages”

On the right, Choose “Next: Starting Document”

On the right, Choose “Next: Select Recipients”

On the right, Choose “Browse”

Use drop-down box to choose the location of the .TXT file, and choose it

Answer “OK” to all the Data Source windows until you are back to your blank
document

Choose “Next: Write Your Letter” and type in the text of your email address

Choose “Next: Complete the Merge”

The do at that point doesn't look correct to me. Even if it was, then how
do I send that as an email? It seems to want to go to a printer to be printed

Thanks, Brian, you're correct about how to create the DL.

use the txt file to create the address data for a mailmerge....
