How do I send a merged document as an attachment to email recipients? In Word
2000 one could check this options in a dialog box. I cannot find it in Word
2003.

When you've finished your Mail Merge in Word and you wish
to send it to others go in menu: File>Send To>Mail
Recipient (As Attachment)... In 2003 it will ask you if
you want to send it with a link that when the user at the
other end opens it up will extract those same contacts
from their Outlook "Contacts" database. If they don't
have the same "Contacts" as you do in your database then
they'll get nothing.

That will not do what the OP was after. See my response to learn how to do
it.

When you go to execute the mailmerge to email and the "Merge to E-mail"
dialog appears, click the pull-down on the "Mail format:" control and you
will see the following options:

HTML
Attachment
Plain Text
