I am trying to use mail merge to send an email to different people but I am
confused. I select the contacts then go to Tools, Mail Merge. Then in the
window I select "Only selected contacts", New document, Form Letters, Merge
to: E-mail and put in a message subject. I click on OK and it loads up Word.
I create the email with the appropriate merge fields and text, then select
Merge to e-mail on the Mail Merge toolbar. Then another small windows
appears with a To: field etc and at the bottom I select All records for the
email to go to all my selected contacts. Do I have to put something in the
To: field and if so, what? I was expecting it to send the email to all my
selected contacts without having to put more information in. Any useful
comments and help would be gratefully received.

You didn't post your version. The only dialog I get for sending is to tell
Outlook which email field to use as the recipient address. Post your version
and steps more accurately.

I just click the OK button when that small window pops up and the emails are
sent.
