Trying to do a mail merge with office 2013.  I've done this for years with other versions of office (2003, 2007, 2010) but it's not working with 2013 for some reason.  I'm following all the steps, but the emails aren't getting sent.  Is there some way that the profile or something is set up wrong so that word isn't sending this properly? I've also tried to send via outlook, but in outlook I can't choose an excel spreadsheet for the list of contacts. 

What is wrong with this?  someone plesae help me!  My outlook profiles are all messed up becasue i use icloud to sync the calendar and contacts, but i use pop/stmp (whatever that means) for my email....

    Was there an empty row after the 42nd row of data?

    Hi Doug, any idea why from a list of 293 contacts only 42 emails got sent? (found emails corresponding to the first 42 contacts on the excel list in my sent folder). Thanks!

    For the type of document that you want to send, you should be using the Merge with Attachments utiility, NOT the Many to One utility.  Also, the doucment should have mergefields inserted into it rather than Content Controls.

    Hi Doug,

    Thank you very much for looking into this. I managed to sort of make it work. The emails are being sent, BUT, without proper name insertion (see snapshot below). I've uploaded the word and excel files I am using to make this merge under these links:

    I appreciate your help.

    Kind regards,

    Manal
