SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to merge a catalog mail merge main document to a printer, to electronic mail, or to electronic fax in Microsoft Word, the following error message appears:

You cannot send a catalog created by merging documents directly to mail, fax, or a printer.



CAUSE
The error message occurs because you must merge a catalog to a new document before you can print it or send it in e-mail.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the catalog main document.
 * 2) On the Mail Merge toolbar, click Merge to new document.

After the merge has completed to a new document, you can send the merged document to a printer, electronic mail, or electronic fax.
