Vista - Merge to E-mail

11-29-2007

Having spent literally hours solving hardware and software problems
associated with the Vista Home Premium 32 pre-installed on my new PC, I keep
finding odd things which donâ€™t work when I have occasion to use try to use
them!

Really hoping someone out there can help with latest 3 problems I have
encountered (all of which worked perfectly on old PC running XP), as I have
now wasted many more unsuccessful hours in trying to cure them!

For ease of posting, have separated into 3 questions:
2) When using Word (OfficeXP version), Merge to E-mail button is greyed-out
(as also is Merge to Fax, but that it not a problem to me!) and I cannot find
a way of activating it. If I run Mail Merge wizard, when asked for document
type, e-mail is not among options.

Thanks,

PS Should have also added that change from XP to Vista also involved a change
from Outlook Express to Windows Mail - sorry!
