[FONT=&quot]We use Excel macros for mail merge.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]> We update to , from, subject, template address, attachment address, names, in the excel sheet and run the macro.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]> This will create draft copy of the messages in the outlook drafts folder.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]> We then individually save the draft messages to OFTs segregate as per the teams and send them to the team leads who in-turn send actual communication to the end user.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This entire process takes us around 16 hours as we have to save 100s of oft files.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I want to check if the existing macros in the excel can be modified so that it directly saves the oft files with the names and path specified in excel columns.[/FONT]

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]If we can achieve this, we will be able to complete the task in less than an hour which usually takes 16 hours.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Any help on this is much appreciated. Below is the current macros code.

Code:
[COLOR=#222222][FONT=&quot]Option Explicit[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]
