I'm trying to send an email merging one document (.docx) with a contacts database (via OleDB). Using MS Word 2007, it seems easy (it works for easy things: name, address, ...) but I can't find how fill an query-get URLD string with a merge field inside an hyperlink.

An hyperlink like: Click here

I've tried the special/merge fields:

{HYPERLINK "http://domain.com/test.php?contact={MERGEFIELD contactEmail}" \o "Here"}

but it doesn't work, sometimes it merge only the first record and then send all the mails with the same address, I got this alternating the view with ALT+F9.

This support doc doesn't work for me because I don't have the complete URL in my database for each contact, and I can't change the design of the table or add a view (it's from the CRM), I don't like to do it exporting the table and adding the field.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

OK, I think that MS forgot something in MSWord. In MS Publisher 2007 exists this functionality (called "Personalized hyperlinks") See at here to begin the mailmerge, then you can find an option to do that with an extra form (I didn't find in Word). I don't know if Word2010 has this option, but Publisher 2007 is OK for me.

Thx.
