I have tried to mail merge our reminder letter to word and there is no customer content in the letter.
I have a message - This feature requires microsoft work. A compatiable version was not found on the computor,
Has MYOB updated something so that our version of word is no longer compatiable. How do I fix this?
Also being able to email tem would be great.

Each year I need to advise my customers the days I will be closed for the Christmas New Year Break. My business is a freight delivery company with severl hundred customers. We deliver to 3 country towns in WA. 95% percent of my invoicing is done via email. I do add a message to the November invoices with the info but would like to be able to follow this up with another dedicated email message.

What we do is create a new invoice and delivery docket templates with Christmas/seasons greetings and our closure dates so that every invoice we print from say mid-Nov onwards uses this "Xmas" invoice and delivery docket template form.

Yes, Bulk email is needed! We need to send Bulk emails multiple times a year for Christmas Closure, Price increases etc.
It is a very time consuming task at the moment!
There is a mail merge option.... why not an email merge option!?

I need to send out email letters to customers also, but not to all customers. I need to be able to select customer groups or select from the list as per emailing statements.

Are we able to get a 'mail merge' option within the Cards command centre itself (as an example) so that you can send emails from AccountRight directly to Outlook itself without having to manually export out all the information which can be very hard for some people for differing reasons.
You could send emails to customers, suppliers, etc (or a sub-section of them) directly. The emailing facility is already in the software. You would have the option of using one of the word templates as well as being able to add an attachment (or more).
While this is technically not an 'accounting software' request, this could save a lot of time for people, and I spoke to a client last week who said he would buy the software just for this reason.

Post is from 2013. Is automated re-sending of overdue invoices now available?
Kind Regards

It's time to allow personalised Letters to be Emailed rather than using the mail merge to a Word document. Who uses snail mail these days? Email merge along with the Custom Fields & Custom Lists will allow us to contact various groups of Customers with a standard email message, this would be greatly improve our ability to carryout marketing & promotions of our business. eg a hairdresser who wishes to send a birthday message to their clients along with a invitation to have a glass of champagne when they have their next visit, or a motor mechanic who wishes to send a reminder about their clients next registration check or car service. etc etc
This function would set MYOB well above the rest of the bunch. The other software don't have any additional fields in their customer list to categorise the customer, let alone do any sort of mail/email merge.

I cannot believe there is no function to be able to email all customers a standard letter. Get your act together MYOB.

Yes I to would really like to see email & sms option in place of the old word.doc mail merge. The fact that the card files have customer lists & custom fields allows for some very creative use of these fields for email &/or sms messages. This is an area that MYOB AR already has which sets it apart from Xero & QB online, it is one which is crying out for development and exploitation.
I would like to be remind customers that they are due for a new appointment using email/sms, this would be great for any business who provides recurring services which may be a longish time period between appointments eg motor mechanics for annual rego checks or car servcing. Bookeepers who provide year end services to certain clients. etc.
A further enhancement would be to to allow a customer to book themselves in for the next appointment, along the lines of Timely. Whether using this software or one developed by MYOB where a customer could book an appointment which adds a sales order into the system. Plus plus plus there are many more enhacements along these lines which would really set MYOB AR apart from the others.

It would be great to be able to group email cards. For example I am going on holidays and want to let a clients suppliers that there wont be any account payments done until I return. It would be nice to tick on all suppliers and send the same email to each client through MYOB live.

I agree there needs to be more email functionality in regards to letters and reminders. We do not post anything so I am having to export out email addresses and then copy & paste into outlook.
