How to mail merge a hyperlink in Microsoft Word or Publisher 2010

Question

I am trying to do an e-mail merge in Microsoft Publisher 2010 (which appears to do mail merging like Microsoft Word) and I'm wanting a merged email address to automatically be hyperlinked in the resulting email.

For example, one of the merge fields could be "EmailAddress" with an example address being [e-mail]. In the document, I would want the merge field "EmailAddress" to display as the default text in an hyperlink and also set the target of the hyperlink to "mailto:EmailAddress" (eg. mailto:[e-mail]).

I can't figure out how to get Publisher 2010 to do that. I would think that it's possible, though. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Well, let me answer my own question. On the Mailings tab of MS Publisher 2010 ribbon there is a button called "Insert Personalized Hyperlink". That does exactly what I was looking for. I can't believe I missed it before!
