My customer wants to send out a newsletter to subscribers as an attachment
to personalised emails. I.E.

"Hi <<Subscriber Name>>

Please read attached newsletter

Regards

etc.
"
I can't see how to attach files to Word's mailmerge output. Does anyone
know a way of doing this in MS Office 2003? (I can't see any mailmerge in
Outlook)

As always, help much appreciated.

It's not available "out of the box", but see Doug Robbins' article at

In essence, Outlook uses Word to do mailmerges anyway (select some contacts,
then try Outlook Tools|Mail Merge...) so you still face the same problem.
