Default Article on "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" athttp://word.mvps.

In later versions of Word, the catalog type mail merge main document was
renamed to Directory. You create that in Word by selecting Directory form
the Start Mail Merge pulldown in the Start Mail Merge section of the
Mailings tab of the ribbon.

The article to which I referred you is a step by step guide to the process.
You must however follow it exactly or the process will not work as intended.

Thanks Robbins, i had read on the article but i'm not really understand
your article well tough i not familiar with word 2007. Hope you can guide
me through this step by step.

1. I had create my own doc and ready to email. I don't know how to setup a
"Catalog"? Is this setup in word or outlook?

2. I using excel as my data source for mail merge. I already have the
attachment file path in one of the column in that data source.

3. How do i load the attachment so that during merge mail it will load the
path?

4. I really can't figure out how to do this unless there is a step by step
guide to do this.

Thanks
