I started out on what I thought was a postage saving exercise!

I wanted to send an email with some body text, subject and an MSWord
document attached. All the recipient data is in an Access database,
therefore it can be email merged into Word to provide a personalised document.

So far so good. Unfortunately Word will only merge body text or attachment
but not both.

The document is a mix of portrait and landscape and prints badly if sent as
email body text.

I tried using Outlook 'send to category' with both Document and body text
but hit the "too many recipients" error. In the end I did it with two hits
but it's a really untidy process.

If push comes to shove in the future, I would send the attachment only, but
as I'm always wary of blank emails with an attachment, I wonder how many
would deleted upon receipt.

Anyone have a solution?

Regards

Pete
