The merge to email process actually executes two mailmerges - a Catalogue/Directory one from whatever data source you're using and an 'normal' one from the macro-reworked table created by the first one. So, yes, it actually uses two mailmerge main documents. The reason for doing it this way is that it can be made to work with any data source Word can use for mailmerges. The Addins I referred to only word with Excel data sources. The approach I've taken is perhaps also easier to implement (once you get your head around it!!).

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.)
