How can I send an email through mail merge using my Outlook contact list in Word 2007 with an attachment? I do not want my Word doc to become an attachment.
I know how to use the mail merge, I just need to know if I can attach a file to the email message before I send it within Word 2007.
One would not use mail merge to send an e-mail. Mail merge is for preparing formal snail mail. To send an e-mail via Word 2007 you simply prepare the document then click on "Send to e-mail Recipient " on the quick access tool bar.
Note: If the Send to e-mail Recipient choice is not there add it by clicking the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options. Click Customize, and then in the Choose Commands from list, click All Commands. Click Send to Mail Recipient, and then click Add to add the command to the Quick Access Toolbar.
Once the Send to e-mail Recipient option comes up with your document in it you should be able to use the Insert Attachment capability to add the attachment and your address book to select recipients.
