You may be able to merge to two separate files using the same data or you
may be able to merge to a new dolcument and to split the merge to achieve
much the same, but unfortunately I can't test it at present as I am
relocating and most of my PC equipment is in a container somewhere on the
high seas.

There may be another workaround. Is there a way to automatically save
different parts of the merged file? In other words if I have a letter
with one of the recipients named "Bill" would I be able to save the
letter to "Bill" as a seperate file, say Bill.doc, within the
mailmerge process?

Then I could create a merge with an attachment with the method you
previously mentioned.

Thanks,

It doesn't seem to be possible to have only part of the document
come accross as an attachment.

The really annoying thing is that Microsoft Word seems to be putting
the "WARNING-MACRO" when the document is merged as an attachment. Is
there any way to after mailmerge strip macros so this doesn't appear?

Any idea when Microsoft will allow email merges as attachment with
dynamic text in the body?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Your message was clear enough. Currently, the only way to merge
attachments from Word is to do so using the method I posted
earlier. What you are trying to achieve may not be possible using
this application.
If you wish to avoid warnings in every circumstance then use plain
text messages.

Maybe I wasn't very clear.

I have a document that has a cover page as well as two invoices. I
would like the two invoices to show up as attachments.

The list has multiple customers, so each customer would receive
their own invoices.

I would like the body of the cover page to show up in the body of
the email page. I am not sure how best to handle this if it is
possible at all.

All I know is that when I create an email merge chosing MAIL
FORMAT as Attachment I get the subject "WARNING-MACRO" before my
subject line when I received the test email. I don't want people
to go running for the hills when seeing an email on which I want
to collect money. Plus having no text in the body of the email
just looks wrong.

From other posts I guess that using the email merge chosing MAIL
FORMAT as Attachment, it is impossible to put text in the body of
the message. Is this true?

Is there any other way to get rid of the "WARNING-MACRO", put
SOMETHING in the body of the email and have the proper invoices
attached automatically on the fly?

Thanks,
Jonathan

information is included in the body of the document and part of
the document is attached as a word document. I have tried
emailing the whole thing as an attachment but the message is
sent with "WARNING-MACRO" in fron of my subject line. Also,
having nothing in the body of the email just doesn't look right.

Any suggestions?
