Default Mail Merge as Attatchments

Hi there, I can find posts and solutions to add an attachment to a mail merge, but i'm wanting to use the merged document itself as an attachment.



I have a client who wants to achieve the following:
He has 3 individual documents, each one will get mail merged to add client details (address, name etc)
Then add those 3 attachments to a single email to the client.

My client tells me he was previously able to do this (many years ago) and that all he remembers doing was adding the 3 documents to an email in Outlook and the documents seemed to take care of the rest.

Does this seem possible? I don't believe so, but thought I would check with the experts.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Stephen.

Default

See http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm In both One to One mode and Many to One mode this will enable you to merge to e-mail as an attachment either in Document or PDF format, with or without a personalised covering e-mail message. The only proviso is that the merge data must be in Excel format.

Word mail merge has never been able to merge to e-mail as attachment. I believe Adobe Acrobat's Word add-in may have enabled such a process, but Word alone cannot do so.
