I am looking for a new job and have 100 e-mail addresses
of recruiters in an outlook folder. I would like to send
the recruiters an e-mail with my resume as an attachment.
I went to the outlook folder, used the mail merge
feature, went to word, used the mail merge to e-mail
feature, attached my outlook folder, wrote my cover
letter, attached my resume then sent but my resume wasn't
attached to any of the letters sent. What am I doing
wrong?

Office can't do both an attachment and a cover letter in a merge. You need
to use one of the third-party tools listed at

Outlook does not support attachments in merges to electronic mail. You'd
need a third party alternative for that.

No. I haven't needed to try any. Sue already posted a link to some.
