If I want to do an email mail merge and send an attachment with the message, is there any way to do that? I've been poking around in Word and I can't figure out a way to do it from the data merge manager. So now I've got all these messages sitting in my outbox and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to attach one file to all of them in one step rather than doing it one by one.

Does anyone have any experience with this or ideas I could try?

What mail client are you using? Entourage or Mail.app?
You should have merged your email list with the attachment before sending to your outbox, better to delete them and start again.
I guess it depends on what email client for exact instructions.

I'm using Entourage.

How do I merge my email list with the attachment? That's what I can't figure out.

Is your attachment a merge document?

If so, you can use the Data merge manger, create a form letter. The data source with be your Entourage address book.

When you merge, the "To" field will be E_Mail, the subject - blah blah, and "Send As" select attachment.

Nope, the attachment is a separate word doc.
