Attaching PDF file in email merge in Word

[Dkline]

I'm using Office XP SP2.

I've created an email in Word for bulk email to a list of Contacts. I want
to add a file attachment - an Adobe file that someone else creates.
Basically its a price list and I want to bulk email it to customers.

I've tried Insert/Object "Create from file". I've tried checking neither
box, checking only the "Link To File", checking only the "Display as Icon",
or checking both.

What I end up with in the merged email is an Adobe icon. There is nothing to
indicate an attachment - not even a paperclip in the Attachment column.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You cannot include attachments in a mail merge. You need third party
software for that.
