Default ATTACHMENT FAILURE IN MAIL MERGE

Outlook 2003/XP

I am sending an form email to a group. I am using the mail merge option in
Outlook so that the greeting line ("Dear Joe") is individualized in each
email.

The email instructs the recipient to open the attached document. However,
the emails arrive with no document attached. It clearly appears to be
attached in the original email prior to the merge.

I cannot figure out why the attachment is not being sent with the email.

mail merge has never supported attachments.

or one of the utilities on that page.
