Can you tell me how to do a mail merge from outlook using MS Word
Mail merge , whereby specific fields in the outlook contacts folder
could be used to selectively incorporate aspects into the
communication to be sent out by email

eg. I have a set of contacts in Contacts sub folder
the view has a few customized fields
lets say for example that one field is called embed (with a
"Y" or "N" value) and a second field is called FN (with a filename
called "xyzfile" )
in the mail merge I would want to
check if embed = "Y" then 'attach' the file "xyzfile"
the file could be either .xls, .jpeg, .ppt

I have Word 2002

Thanks,
Rachelle
