Since you're doing a mailmerge you really ought to be able to merge directly
to e-mail unless you have a special reason not to.

To do that, you don't use File|Send: assuming you're using Word 2002/2003,
enable the MailMerge toolbar via Word Tools|Customize, then find the Merge
to e-mail button (it's a button or two away from the right hand end of the
toolbar) and use that. You might want to experiment by doing a merge to your
own address before sending stuff out to other people.
