Ah, I get you. And I don't actually run the mailmerge for the first part, that is done as part of the macro?

And what about the use of tables in catalogue / directory? Is that essential for the first part to 'hold' the data for the email merge? I don't really need them otherwise as all I'm after is a short 'personalised' list at the end of each email (including the recipients name in the email would be nice, but 'Dear colleague' will do.)
