Outlook Mail Merge with Attachment

[Tom]

I'm trying to do a mail merge in Outlook and attach a
word document in the mail merge email. The mail merge
functionality works great but it will not take the
attachment. So I end up with all the mail merge emails
but none of them have the attachment. I'm using MS
Office for Small Business 2003. Anybody have insight on
what I might be doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. Office just doesn't have any functionality
for sending a personalized email message that also contains an attachment.
You can, however, send just the personalized Word document as an attachment,
but you'll hit security prompts.

I'd recommend that you get one of the third-party tools listed at
