If you mean that you want the e-mail body to look like the letter then you
need to be aware that html format and Word document format have entirely
different formatting requirements e.g. html does not support header/footers
or even pages. You would need to create the 'letter' as an html document, to
which end Word's web view will give you more of a clue as to the resulting
layout.

Graham,
PMFJI, but I'm working on a similar project and could use some
assistance.
Both Doug Robbins macro and the MAPILabs tool build & send merge
documents to email -- no problem. However, I need the email message
to look like the original letter, including the header & footer in
the original Word file which contain corporate logos as images.
Any suggestions?
Thank,
Steve Frye

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?
