MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / September 2004creating macro to attach pdf to multiple emails in Word 2002
"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\Filename of each attachment in the second and any subsequent columns, one attachment per cell.." Are there articles to read to spell this process out more thoroughly to a newbie? Further on in the article there is an example of how the catalog mailmerge main document would be set up showing a table with the mergefields in the cells of the table. Can you be more specific about the part of it that you do not understand?  SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

I've been trying to disect the first sentence of the attachment instructions to come up with a list of steps to follow.

What version of Word are you using? As the article says, in Word XP and later, the type of mailmerge main document that you need to create at this point is called a "Directory". In earlier versions, it was called a "Catalog". If you are using XP or later, I would suggest that from the View menu, you select Toolbars and then check the Mail merge item to show the mailmerge toolbar. Then click on the left most button on that toolbar and select Directory from the list. Then use the next button to the right to attach the data source to the main document. If you are using 2000 or before, just follow the steps in the Mail merge helper that appears when you select Mail merge from the Tools menu and in Step 1, select Catalog as the type of mailmerge that you want to perform.

OK - I am using Word 2002 (XP) so following the directions in your email using the second button from the right on the mail merge toolbar I am asked to connect to a data source. I want to use Outlook (2002). I do not know what to do at this point. > I've been trying to disect the first sentence of the attachment instructions > to come up with a list of [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > a > > > newbie? How do I set up data link properties? The reading I have done people have been directed to using Outlook to skip having to do this. Is this what I need to do? > OK - I am using Word 2002 (XP) so following the directions in your email > using the second button from the right on the mail merge toolbar I am asked [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > a > > > > newbie?
