Default Can you send a mail merge to a large group WITH an attachment?

J Wilkie -
I was in the exact same spot you are in, and I understand how frustrating
it can be to get so close only to have that €ś0 Messages Sent€ť box laughing at
you. It turns out that my problem was that I was not merging the document
that I wanted to email out into a new document before running the macro.
From the final letter you wish to merge, go to €śFinish and Merge€ť under the
€śMailings€ť tab and select €śEdit Individual Documents€¦€ť your mail merge
document will be exported to a new document that will have all the letters
with the correct information listed one right after the other (see Doug
Robbins last post on 1/5/2007 or steps 7 and 8 of alexandros.papadopouloss
outline). Then from THAT screen, run the macro and everything should work
out for you.

Good Luck

I have followed all the instructions, have a directory file called Directory
Source.xls and Directory.doc and have started a new Word document with the
VBA (MS 2007) developer area open. I have got to the stage of having a Word
file open with my mail merged letters and on MS 2007 toolbar have created a
macro , copying the code given Doug Robbin's file. When I run the macro I
get the window, in which I link in Directory.doc and I get a pop up window
asking me for subject of emails - almost there - then I get a pop up window
saying 0 emails sent. Where am I going wrong? as I seem to be right at the
very end? I have checked email addresses (actually I managed to send emails
with no attachments yesterday - but today no emails at all. )
Any help appreciated.

That method works in Word 2007

I like the break down of the instructions you provided for this problem.
I
however am working with MS Office 07 and the steps don't work the same.
Can
you tell me how to do this in 07?
