E-mail Merge

The Email option is used to merge our tickets, or whatever it is that you have created, personalize them, and send them via email.
Actually, there is not much difference with what you have learnt in the previous lesson.
Obviously, you have to select the “Email Merge” option.

In the “Mail Merge” pane, we need to select the same list that we have made in previous lesson, so we select the “Use an existing list” option.
We now click on the “Next” button.

In the dialog box that appears, we select the data source and click on the “Open” button.
In the list of recipients that appears, you can remove whoever you want.
Click OK.
First personalize the invitation, and then click on the “Next: Create merged publications” button.

In step three of the wizard, I click on the “Send Mail …” button.
If you want to have a preview of your email, click on the “Preview e-mail” button.

This opens the “Merge to E-mail” dialog box.

The topmost text box is already filled, by Publisher.
In the second box, enter a subject for your e-mail.
You have a number of options when you click on the “Options” button.
All of these options seem quite obvious to me, so I won’t dicuss this any further.
Click the “Send” button when you’re done.

We get a message from “Publisher” on the number of emails it is sending.
If you do not want this message to be displayed in the future, check the appropriate box and then
Click OK.

I have just invited myself to my BBQ.
Well, someone should do it anyways! 😉
