How do I attach a document in an Outlook email merge?

When I create an email merge from Outlook, it opens the merge in Word.
However, there is no option to insert an attachment in Word when you perform
the email merge from Outlook.

Thank you Doug! I'm sure this will be helpful to my IT person. Unfortunately,
this is a little out of my scope of knowledge. Thanks for the quick response!

Hi Doug.

I have tried to follow your titorial and I am slightly confused.

I have created a mail merge directory as you described, I have just used 4 email addresses to try and test the process before I send it out to any more.

My initial document is called email merge doc and I then mail merged this to a new document called directory 1. I ran the macro from the file email merge doc 2 and the macro worked perfectly and I selected directory 1 from the list of file options available. However when the macro ran the following message appeard '0 emails have been sent'. I was wondering if you knew why this was?

Thank you very much in advance for your help
