dUsing a tip in this newsgroup, I now have a macro which takes a merged
document and parses it into individual letters. The individual letters are
saved as individual files. So if my merged document has 50 letters, I use
the macro to create 50 documents representing each letter.

Now, I want to e-mail these documents. What is the best way for taking what
I have so far and e-mailing to the recipients? Some of the posting talk
about using spreadsheets. If that’s the way to do it, how do you do it?
Thanks.

Word 2003's help on mail merge to email recipients:
Create and distribute merged e-mail messages
You can use the Mail Merge task pane to create a group e-mail distribution.

Note Your system must include a MAPI-compatible e-mail program, such as
Microsoft Outlook.

1.. On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click Mail
Merge.
2.. Under Select document type, click E-mail messages.
The active document becomes the main document, where you will type the
body of your e-mail message.

3.. Click Next: Starting document.
