I use Windows 7 Home Premium.  I wish to use Mail Merge in Outlook 2010 but when I click the Mail Merge button, the system states I have to install the version of Word that matches the installed version of MS Outlook.  But when I click OK nothing happens.  Does the MS Office Starter (English) installed on my laptop meet Outlook requirement? If so, why does Outlook not recognise it.  If not, what do I need to do or is there an alternative method of Mail Merging within Outlook 2010?
I'm having an issue using mail merge on my mac. I have a signature set up in Outlook with my company logo that works just fine if I am sending emails however when I try sending emails using mail merge the image in my signature no longer shows up on the recipients end.

What is the workaround for this?
