Attach document to mail merge word
To attach a document to a mail merge in Word, you can use the "Insert" feature and then link the document to the mail merge. Here's how:
Method 1: Insert and Link
- Open your Word document and go to the location where you want to insert the document.
- Click on "Insert" > "Object" > "From File".
- Browse to the location of the document you want to attach and select it.
- Click "Insert" to insert the document into your Word document.
- Right-click on the inserted document and select "Link" > "Link Properties".
- In the "Link Properties" dialog box, select "Update link" and choose "Update link when the document changes".
- Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
Method 2: Use a Mail Merge Field
- Open your Word document and go to the location where you want to insert the document.
- Click on "Insert" > "Field" > "Merge Field".
- In the "Field" dialog box, select "Document" as the field type.
- In the "Field name" box, enter the name of the document you want to attach (e.g. "Attachment.docx").
- Click "OK" to insert the field.
- When you run the mail merge, the document will be attached to the output document.
Tips
- Make sure the document you want to attach is in the same location as your Word document, or provide the full path to the document.
- If you're using Method 1, you can also use the "Insert" > "Picture" > "From File" option to insert the document as a picture.
- If you're using Method 2, you can use the "Merge Field" dialog box to specify the document name and location.
- You can also use VBA code to attach documents to a mail merge. For example, you can use the

method to attach a document to a mail merge.
