Can you send a mail merge to a large group WITH an attachment?
I've checked out the article, but it's like reading Greek. I've gotten as
far as "Setup" and then I'm completely lost. That first sentence just keeps going, and having never worked with macros I have no idea what it is I'm supposed to be doing. I don't even see anything in the Visual Basic Editor about Catalogues or Directories. Help?

See the article "What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup
readers to help me out?" at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm You need to read the article more carefully. The reference to catalogs or directories has nothing to do with Visual Basic. They are a type of mailmerge. Post back here with any specific questions that you have. -- Hope this helps.

Can you send a mail merge to a large group WITH an attachment?
Thank you for clearing that up. Even with the clarification, though, I'm
still having trouble figuring out what that first sentence means. Is "type" being used as a verb or a noun in "You will need to create a separate Directory type mail merge main document"? When the article says, "which creates a word document containing a table in each row...", does that mean this table should be automatically created or I need to create a table? Right now I have three word files, my source with email addresses, my message, and this additional Directory. I understand what the outcome of this process should be, but I'm completely missing how to get there. I'd appreciate further clarification. Thanks.

"type" is a noun
The following: You will need to create a separate Catalogue (or in Word 2002 and later, Directory) type mail merge main document which creates a word document containing a table in each row of which would be data from the data source that contains the email address in the first column and the Drive:\Path... could read: You will need to create a separate Catalogue (or in Word 2002 and later, Directory) type mail merge main document which, when executed, creates a word document containing a table in each row of which would be data from the data source that contains the email address in the first column and the Drive:\Path But, if you just read on and follow each step, you will come to: You first execute that mail merge to a new document, which if you have set it up correctly will produce a document containing a table similar to the following: and, there are examples of what that document would look like. -- Hope this helps.

Hi,
I've tried your link below, but it would appear this no longer works. However, I am in the same position as LMK@work and whilst got very excited to see an article to overcome this problem, I too found the article reading like "Greek". I am also a Microsoft Office Trainer so consequently found this to be very frustrating as I should be able to understand the instructions in the Article but can't. Sorry Doug. If there is anyone out there who understands this process fully and is able to publish step by step instructions, this would be fantastic, as I feel there are quite a few frustrated people out there. I also understand that Office 2007 doesn't resolve this problem. Many thanks in advance. Heather " wrote: Hi, Try our pdfMachine Word Mail Merge product. It could be what you are looking for.

Take it one step at a time. I don't think that I could write in a simpler
way than I have. Post back to the newsgroups if there are any parts that you really do not understand. -- Hope this helps.

Doug thanks for your quick response. The bit I really don't understand is as
follows: "Then execute to a new document the mail merge that you want to send out by email with the attachments and with the result of execution of that mail merge on the screen, run a macro containing the following code." I am not sure what one is supposed to be firstly executing and at what point one should be running the macro. I've tried many methods, but just not winning. I'm really not sure where I am going wrong. I really would be glad for your assistance and don't like giving up! Regards Heather "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Take it one step at a time.
