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....

    There is no change between 2010 and 2013 other than in Word 2010, you used File>Save & Send>Send Using E-mail and in Word 2013 you use File>Share>Email.  Once you get to that point, in both versions, the Send a Link unless the file is saved in a shared location (such as a folder on your OneDrive).

    Dear Doug

    I am having similar problem in office 2013.   I have genuine Windows 8.1. 

    I can see the File>Share>Email....... but the second option "send a link" is dead.  But if I only want to send email from a word document which I was doing well without any issues in 2010 office.

    Do you have any solution?

    Thanks

    They are at the linked location posted in Doug's replies! MergeTools - 20140218. It's the fifth icon.

    Or you could look at http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm  or http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm  which do pretty much the same as Doug's tools, albeit with some different emphases - except for the merging of charts, for which you'll need Doug's tools.

    When I go to download the mail merge tools from Doug Robbins page, there are some documents, but the tools themselves are not there. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    No, it does not make any difference. Only plain text is working with my configuration.
