- Word add-ins: Disable any third-party add-ins that might be interfering with Word mailings. Try disabling all add-ins and then re-enabling them one by one to identify the problematic add-in.
- Outlook version: Ensure you are using a compatible version of Outlook. Word mailings are supported in Outlook 2016 and later versions.
- Word mailings template: Check if the Word mailings template is corrupted or outdated. Try creating a new template or updating the existing one.
- Word mailings settings: Verify that the Word mailings settings are correct. Go to File > Options > Mailings, and ensure that the settings are set to your liking.
- Outlook profile: Try creating a new Outlook profile or repairing the existing one. This can resolve issues with Outlook's configuration.
- Word integration: Ensure that Word is properly integrated with Outlook. Go to File > Options > Add-ins, and ensure that the "Word" add-in is enabled.
- Office updates: Check for any pending Office updates and install them. This can resolve issues with Word and Outlook integration.
- Corrupted files: Try saving the Word document as a new file and then creating a new Word mailing. This can help identify if the issue is related to a specific file.
- Outlook configuration: Check the Outlook configuration settings. Go to File > Options > Advanced, and ensure that the "Use Word as the editor for mail" option is enabled.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:
