Reviewing Mail Merge output to email prior to sending from Microsoft Word

You can review the merged emails for individual recipients prior to delivery. You can use this option from the Merge Options tab for Mail Merge only if the Output Type is Email. If you do not select this option, the email messages are automatically sent when the merge completes.
