Hi Martin,
Quote:
The problem is that I want *the attachment itself* – to which, for each record, the path in the second column of the directory document points – to be a merged Word document
For that, your attachment documents need to be generated via an ordinary mailmerge. That mailmerge's output document will then need to be split into separate files per recipient and the resulting filenames referenced in your 'Maillist' Catalog/Directory mailmerge output document's second column.

For code to generate the individual attachment merge letters, see: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm. That page includes material for a fully-fledged addin at the top but, if you don't want to go that far, there is code further down the page that should do what you want.
