Dear Peter,
I have created Outlook Express email merge which already has a pdf
file as attachment. I was able to merge the data and send the email
but the attachment
was missing inthe sent email. In your reply to Shahid, you mentioned
that we have to attach individually to each email in the outbox and
then the emails are to be sent. In my case, I am working on a desk
top which is directly connected to server, there is no outbox - the
message gets sent directly.
I would like to know whether we can paste the attachment file in the
body of the message ? I have seen many emails which carry
attachments at the end portion of the text message. How can this be
done ?
Please advise and thank you very much.

1. Not "out of the box".

2. Most of the easily available macro code relies on the ability to
automate the full Outlook. If you do not have Outlook, you would
probably have to use a macro that sent e-mails directly via MAPI or
SMTP.

3. How I would approach this would depend on whether I wanted to
attach the same .pdf to every e-mail, or a different .pdf to each
e-mail. If it is the same, it may not be too hard to generate the
e-mails via mailmerge, then manually attach the same .pdf to each
e-mail. It depends on how many you want to send. If it is a
different .pdf for each message and you have a lot of messages, that
could be a lot of work, in which case it may be cheaper to buy the
full Outlook or some other software to do it (it depends on how you
cost your time).

also there is no email option when i start mail merge from tools
menu. any help would be highly appreciated.

If it is /just/ when you "start mail merge from tools menu then the
following may not be enough, but I would start he
