Mail merge and Office 2011 revisited

Twitter follower Toby Sax is anxious for me to revisit an old Mac 911 column that lays out the steps for creating mail merged documents in Microsoft Word. In a series of tweets Toby writes:</p>

Thanks for your mail merge and Office 2011 article (http://www.macworld.com/article/1158391/mail_merge_word.html), which I followed to near success. I have these questions:

<ul>
   <li>How do you insert an email address from Outlook rather than Apple’s Contacts application?</li>
   <li>How do you maintain a letter format within the resulting email message?</li>
   <li>When I tried this the letters went to Outlook’s Drafts folders and not to its Outbox as you suggested. Why?</li>
</ul>

<p>
Thanks for allowing me the chance to revisit this topic, particularly as it lets me answer some outstanding questions that followed it. For the sake of convenience I’ll pull portions of that column (in italics) into this one and answer as I go.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2107140/mail-merge-and-office-2011-revisited.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
