Default How do I get a picture to email using merge?

The problem is that the fields in the document are not being updated when
you execute to email. If you were to use Outlook rather than Outlook
Express, you could use the information in the following article to sent the
picture as an attachment to the email

"Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm

Alternatively, you would have to execute the merge to a new document and
then separate that document into individual documents and email them. Once
again, if you are using Outlook, this could be automated. If it's only a
one off and not too many to deal with, it may just be easier to do it
manually, though the information in "Individual Merge Letters" item on
fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

could be used to split the document.

I cannot get a picture included with text to send using email merge. The
text is being sent without the picture. I can copy the document into
Outlook
Express and it mails ok. Just not when I send using email merger.
