Hi.  Thanks for these steps.  It helped me 50% with mail merge.  I believe this should work if you have one email account setup in your MS outlook.  In my case using Outlook 2013, I have 2 accounts, and even if I set as default my account 2, it will always send using account 1.  Following the steps above, plus adding the missing step, gets my mail merge to work:

6. In Outlook 2013, click File > Account Settings > Account Settings... 

7. Click "Data Files" tab

8. Click to Select the Name of the PST file of the email address that you want to set as default.

9. Click Set as Default.  Close the Account Setting tab and you're good to go with the MSWord Mail Merge.
