Email Merge with custom From: field.

[Budlong]

Occasionally I want this: When an email recipient does Reply, I want the reply to go to a third party, not me. Example is a meeting notice where replies should go to the Meeting Coordinator. To do this in a normal Outlook email, I put the preferred reply address in the From: box. The email arrives at the recipient’s Inbox with the From: reading “Me@abc.com on behalf of MeetingCoordinator@def.com”. When the recipient hits the Reply button the email goes to MeetingCoordinator@def.com. Very handy.

I want to do the same thing in MS Word Mail Merge. But I have not found how to put the third party email address in the From field. Nor have I found out how the system knows to use my email address in the From field.

Any ideas how to do this? Either somehow specify the third party address as the From: during the Mail Merge process, or to edit where the system gets my address so I can temporarily change the address while doing the email merge.
