Default Emailing Attached File with Mail Merge

There's not much of a learning curve with the MAPILabs tool and there is a
trial version I believe. It simply provides an extra menu item in the
mailmerge wizard and the ensuing dialog boxes are self evident.

Thank you very much, Graham. Excellent advice.

I will probably go with the MAPILab add-in. I do use macros but I
suspect this one has a learning curve.

Please let me put in a recommendation to Mircosoft: the attachment
capability should be built into the Word/Outlook mail merge
procedure, in a simple box that allows the addition of an attachment.

Cheers,

Terry

I would like to do an email mail merge from a contact list in an
Excel file and include the same attachment (a PDF file) to each
email. I use Outlook (2007) for emails and more generally Office
2007.

I would like to insert the attachment only once. I cannot see a way
to do this during the mail merge process because the merge takes
place in Word and there does not seem to be a way to insert an
attached file prior to the mail merge. One has the Word menu system
rather than the Outlook email menu in which one can use
insert/attach file to attach a file.

Is there any way to do this: to set up the email during mail merge
so I insert the attached file only once?
