If I run this macro with my mail merge output document as the active document, it will put the merged text into the body of the email, and not attach it as I require.

To re-cap again, what I want to do is: send a mail merge to e-mail, with

(i) a merged message in the body of the e-mail (or, failing that, any message at all in the body of the e-mail)

**AND**

(ii) a *merged* Word document **as an attachment**.

I'm struggling to think of how I can make myself clearer, and I'm beginning to suspect that actually it's not possible to do what I want to do in Word. Which I find surprising.

Thanks,

Martin
