That is how the email merge is meant to work. Done properly, it will include the letter and the data as the email body. As I've already said, the process is quite different from what you were doing before. The reason for the setup it requires is that it actually performs two merges - one being a directory merge to consolidate the data to be emailed into a table that becomes a new mailmerge source file, the other to actually send the emails using that new source file. Instead of executing either merge manually, let the macro drive the entire process.

If you want to send emails with the letters as attachments, you'd need a different process from what the tutorial caters for. See, for example: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm. Even that process assumes you have separate output documents that the macro there can attach. To create those, you'd need to use a mailmerge with the document form post #8 to create an initial output document, split that into separate documents, then complete the balance of the process in the above link.
