Mail Merge button suddenly greyed out

Anna Ahrens · 13. November 2024

I’ve been using Microsoft Mail Merge frequently, but recently the Mail Merge button to send emails is greyed out, preventing me from sending emails. This issue occurs across all documents, including those that have worked fine in the past. I’ve confirmed that Word, Excel, and Outlook are all up-to-date, I haven’t changed any settings, and I’ve restarted my laptop. Any advice?

I have the same problem.

The "add contact" menu item is greyed out.

How do I enable it?

Hallo Antonio,

danke für deine Nachricht.

Auf der folgenden Seite ( auf Englisch) findest du einen ähnlichen Thread, und dort gibt einige Lösungen von
Daniel, die du ausprobieren kannst:

Office 365 Outlook-Format Text tab greyed out . Wichtig ist, dasss du das Problem im abgesicherten Modus prüfst.

Wenn du noch Fragen hast, helfen wir dir gerne weiter.

Hallo,
 das ist in Word nicht vorgesehen. Dazu finden sich im WWW allerdings Makros bzw. Add-Ins, siehe beispielsweise folgende Diskussion, in der unter anderem Doug Robbins sein Add-In beschreibt und zur Verfügung stellt:

 Auch hier findet sich eine Lösung:

Hallo,

Ich muss anhand von einer Excel-Liste Adressetiketten erstellen, damit ich diese mit Avery Klebe-Etiketten auf ein Couvert kleben kann.

Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie ich dieses Excel-Dokument mit allen Adressen im Word als Serienbrief verbinden kann.
