Mail Merge Email

[Nicola]

A colleague of mine, who has XP, is trying to create a
mail merge email in Word. He has no problems other than
trying to attach a document. He tells me that there is no
facility for attachments and he would like to know if
there is any possible way of attaching a document.

I doubt if this makes any difference but the document is
created in Adobe Acrobat.

Does anyone know if this is possible. I have Windows 2000
and, therefore, cannot try this out for myself.

Thanks

Hi Nicola,

He is correct: Word provides no facility for this. Doug
Robbins created a macro solution that's available at the
mvps.org/word website.
