Mailmerge using generic email address ?
Hi,
I use mailmerge function in word. I have set of email address in excel sheet, and i have a letter format in word , i use mailmerge to fetch address from the excelsheet and send via mail outlook.
My question is, by default it fetches my email address but i want to use the generic email id so that receiver see only that mail.
My outlook is configured with my mailbox and added the generic account as secondary one.
Any tips to fix this ? See also the screenshot, in word it gives only " To".

Is it only ME, or is this question really not clear?

The excel sheet contains the receiver's email address.
Using mail merge ( mailing format ) function in word I send the letter to all the email address referred in excelsheet.
Here the receivers receive mails from my email address. I don't want this. But I want the generic email id

Nope...
the problem is the primary mailbox will become secondary, then when user sends email from the own mailbox goes to generic account sent item.

If so, it would have to be switched back after the merge.

mean each and every time, user should switch betweent he different profiles ?
If you have two accounts, you will have to manage them if you sometimes want to use one and sometimes the other.
I'm not very familiar with the Outlook object model, but it might be possible to use VBA to automate it. Do you know how to use and program VBA code?
