Multiple Row Mail Merge

I am trying to use the code to “mail merge” multiple rows in an email format.  I have 2 concerns.  My code is showing in the document with each record.  I am using the regular version of 2010.  Do I need the Developer's plug in? The second concern is, the document is created but the email function does not appear to work.  Can someone help explain why this is happening?

It is not clear what you mean by "My code is showing in the document with each record"

 

There is no Developer's plug in.

 

If what you are trying to do is a Many to One type mail merge,

download the MergeTools – 20130627 Add-in that I created from the following page of my Windows Live SkyDrive:

Save the file in the Word Startup folder.  In Windows Vista and Windows 7, it is

C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

When you have done that, the tab shown below will be added to the Ribbon:



One thing to note is that the field names in your data source must contain only alphanumeric characters (No @,#,$,%,&,(,), etc) and the field names must not start with a numeric character (0-9).

You may also want to download the Using the Many to One Facility document that describes how to use that facility.
