[Year 12 IT Apps] Any ideas please

[Timmer-Arends]

Hello Joe
actually it works in Word 2003 as well and is just as easy. You need MS 
outlook to run your email. One big thing to watch out for though is if there 
is private info going out in each email - you don't get to merge to a 
document first, it just starts sending so if something goes wrong you could 
send private info to the wrong people!
