I am just beginning an investigation into the capabilities of Outlook wrt
mail merge.  I am very excited to see how easily Outloook Contacts interact
with Word's Mail Merge capacity.  Just trying to learn some more things,
like...

when you have completed a merge using Contacts...is a copy of the
document/email/merge output saved as part of the Contact's history?

Advanced question...let's say I have 100 contacts in a merge, and for each
of them, I am sending them a form letter(created through the Mail Merge) as
well an attachment that is specific to each contact.  I want to attach those
custom attachments to each individual Contact's merge output...can it be
automated somehow, or would I have to manually attach each one?  I know this
is a pretty open-ended question, so any thoughts on this are welcome.

Any help is most appreciated.

Regards,
Tom

Manually. You may want to investigate the third-party tools at http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail
