My hunch is that you still can't add an attachment to a e-mail merge from Word, but I haven't tested this in the last year or so. This would be a good question on some Microsoft Office forum, perhaps.

Hi Troy,

Your merge instructions are dated pretty far back. I'm wondering if there have been any changes in merge capacity. I'd like to do a personalized email with a pdf attachment. Is that still impossible? (I use MS 365 for mac)

Thanks

Tom

(TntMPD is now called "TntConnect".) When TntConnect e-mail merges via Word, it's up to Word and Outlook how the email gets sent. Look into your Outlook options. Maybe check with Microsoft, or a Microsoft forums. --Troy

Hi Troy

Hope you can help me. I have about 4 different email accounts on my MS Outlook 2016. I am trying to do the email merge from only one of the accounts. I set it to "send by default" on the account I want it to be sent from, but it always sends it from the same account. Can TNTMPD be set up to send from different accounts?

Hi Becky, The "Edit Individual Documents" (I believe) will only work for printed mail merges.

So your guide for doing email merges hints at being able to personalize the emails. However, it does not allow us to do this with individuals because it tells us to select the send email rather than edit individual documents. The email goes out the same to everyone. When I selected edit individual documents and saved the email contacts to an excel file, it sent out emails to each address but included all the messages to all of the recipients in everyone's message! I expected the section break between the messages to tell outlook to pair up each section with a new address so Ann would get Ann's message and only Ann's message, etc. down the line. Is there a good way to be able to personalize/edit a form letter in an email merge? I can't seem to find help on this.

I've thought of that, but having one email address per outgoing email is a Microsoft Word limitation with their merge to email feature.

I always like to send my newsletter to married couples with both of them on the "TO:" line and the salutation written to both of them (ex: "Dear Bob and Susie,") I find it's a lot more personal that way and respects the marriage better. Is there a way TNT mail merge can auto-generate that setup?

A point to be made about mail merge to email with MSWord and MSOutlook for the Mac os system is that MSOutlook must be set as your preferred email client for MSWord to merge your emails to MSOutlook. If you haven't made this choice the option in the step 7 to send E-mail messages will be grey and inaccessible. Check out osxdaily.com/.../change-default-mail-app-mac for how to set Outlook as our preferred email client.

Hi Nicholas, When you launch a mail merge from TNT, be sure to specify that you want to do an e-mail merge. That way all email addresses are broken out into separate rows.

Is this process any different than using the Word feature in TNT to send a mail merge? I am having trouble with contacts who have multiple email addresses. Word will give me the message that it wants semicolons instead of commas. How do I work around this?

Tip: Some issues can be avoided by starting up Outlook and minimizing it to the background while you do an e-mail merge. --Troy

Great! When will the next beta be ready? Thanks!

Hi Keefe, The next beta version of TntMPD (3.0.7) will have an option to "Include Display Name on Email Address" that you can turn off (when the merge type is "Form Letters (Email)"). Thanks for the feedback. --Troy
