E-Mail merge with attachments
I am running Word 2002 out of Office XP.
I have worked through the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm and have been able to send e-mails with attachments However, the body of the e-mail message is blank - the intended merged document does not go with the e-mail. First of all: Is it possible to have a merged doucment in the text of the e-mail AND have attachments? I find the statement in the article "Then execute the mail merge thaty you want to send out by email with the attachements and with the result of execution of that mail merge on the screen, run a macro with the following code." a bit unclear. I am not sure at what point to "run the macro", and maybe this is causing the intended merged document to disappear? From step 5 of 6, I click "complete the merge" and this takes me to step 6 of 6. ..... at what point should the macro be run? Thanks - John |

Hi John,
The mailmerge document that contains the text of the message that you want to appear in each email must be executed to a New Document and then with that document active on the screen, you run the macro. I would suggest that instead of using the mailmerge wizard which I deduce that you are doing by your reference to steps 5 and 6, you should select Toolbars from the View menu and then click on the Mailmerge item so that the Mailmerge toolbar is displayed. On that toolbar you will find buttons along the right hand end that allow you to execute the mailmerge to each of the available destinations - printer, new document (the one you need in this case), to email, etc. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP "John" wrote in message ...
