  You can send personalized Outlook HTML e-mail using Word e-mail merge.To do this, create a Marketing Campaign.  Select your recipients, then choose "Word E-mail Merge" as the Delivery method.  Browse to an existing Word document or create one as described in the posting linked below:http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm/archive/2007/02/23/Get-Results-with-BCM_2700_s-E_2D00_mail-Marketing-Service.aspxClicking the "Launch" button will take you to the Word mail merge wizard.  The last step of the wizard will prompt you to select an e-mail subject and format.  If you select HTML, Word will generate a separate Outlook HTML e-mail message for each of your recipients.

  Hi guys, I´m looking for a tool to create business docs into BCM. Something like this: create a general doc like visit.docx, and everytime one employee goes out to a client, it can open it, fill the form and have it created direct into the Project. How can I do it? Luis

  I need to create fields with financial formulas to be shown on the General Page of an opportunity. For example Amt Financed, Interrest rate, Payment etc etc. I realize  that I can create a custom form with these fields and formulas, but how would I deploy or publish it as the General page?
