I can create a merged document in Publisher and insert the first name into 
the greeting line.
When previewing all looks good but when I then send the mail the mail sent 
only has Hi <<first name>> and not the actual name in the document???
What am I missing?
Please help

What version Publisher? Is Publisher and Outlook of the same Office suite?
Help here
