Using Microsoft 2013 - Word and Outlook



I am trying to send an email merge with 3 inserted objects (PDFs). I can open the PDFs from my word document and from the merged emails in my outbox waiting to send. Once they are transmitted and moved into the sent folder, I can no longer open them. Additionally, the recipients are unable to open them.

I have tried to drag and drop the PDF icon from my folder into my word document and that just opens the PDF adding pages to my mail merge - not what I want since the files can be 400+ pages.

I have tried to insert an object by both creating new and from existing.

What I am doing wrong? I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks!
