SYMPTOMS
When you create a catalog in Microsoft Word 2001, the Merge to Printer and the Merge to E-mail options are unavailable in the Data Merge Manager. The only option that is available is Merge to Document.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Microsoft Word 2001 does not support the data merge of a catalog directly to e-mail or to a printer.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods:

Method 1
Merge your catalog to a new document and then print or send the document. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Data Merge Manager.
 * 2) In the Data Merge Manager dialog box, click Create, and then click Catalog.
 * 3) Click Get Data, and then specify your data source.
 * 4) Add to your document the merge fields that you want.
 * 5) In the Data Merge Manager dialog box, under Merge, click Merge to New Document.
 * 6) When the data merge is completed, print the new document, or point to Send To on the File menu to send it by e-mail.

Method 2
Create form letters, labels, or envelopes instead of a catalog. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Data Merge Manager.
 * 2) In the Data Merge Manager dialog box, click Create, and then click Form Letters, Labels, or Envelopes.
 * 3) Click Get Data, and then specify your data source.
 * 4) Add to your document the merge fields that you want.
 * 5) In the Data Merge Manager dialog box, under Merge, click Merge to Printer, or Merge to E-mail.
