Attach document to mail merge outlook 2010
To attach a document to a mail merge in Outlook 2010, you'll need to use a combination of Outlook's mail merge feature and Word's document attachment feature. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
Prerequisites:
- You have Outlook 2010 installed on your computer.
- You have a Word document (.docx) that you want to attach to the mail merge.
- You have a list of recipients in Outlook that you want to send the merged documents to.
Step 1: Create a new mail merge in Outlook
- Open Outlook 2010 and go to the "Mail" tab.
- Click on the "New Email" button to create a new email message.
- In the "To" field, select the list of recipients you want to send the merged documents to.
- Click on the "Insert Merge Field" button in the "Tags" group to insert a merge field for the recipient's name, email address, or other fields.
Step 2: Create a Word document template
- Open Word 2010 and create a new document.
- Design the document as you would like it to appear when merged with the recipient's information.
- Insert merge fields for the recipient's information using the "Insert Merge Field" button in the "Tags" group.
- Save the document as a Word document (.docx) with a name like "Merge Template.docx".
Step 3: Attach the Word document template to the mail merge
- Go back to the Outlook email message you created in Step 1.
- Click on the "Attach File" button in the "Include" group.
- Browse to the location where you saved the Word document template (Merge Template.docx).
- Select the file and click "Open" to attach it to the email message.
Step 4: Merge the document and attach it to the email
- Click on the "Merge" button in the "Tags" group to merge the document with the recipient's information.
- Outlook will create a new document for each recipient, using the merge fields you inserted in the Word document template.
- Each merged document will be attached to the email message as a separate file.
Step 5: Send the merged documents
- Click on the "Send" button to send the email message with the attached merged documents to each recipient.
That's it! You have successfully attached a document to a mail merge in Outlook 2010.
