- Click "Open" to attach the file to the email.
- In the "Mail Merge" pane, click on the "Attachments" tab.
- Click on the "Add Attachment" button and select the document you just attached.
- Repeat steps 4-6 for each document you want to attach.
Method 2: Using the "Mailings" tab
- Open your Word document and go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Select Recipients" button and select the recipient list you want to use for the mail merge.
- Click on the "Finish & Merge" button and select "Edit Individual Documents".

Tips:
- Make sure the document you want to attach is in a format that can be opened by the recipient (e.g. PDF, DOCX, etc.).
- You can also use the "Insert" tab to insert a link to the document instead of attaching it. This can be useful if you want to allow the recipient to download the document instead of attaching it to the email.
- If you're using a large number of attachments, you may want to consider using a cloud storage service like OneDrive or Google Drive to store and share the files.
