Thanks for sharing. Just wondering why there are 2 attachments? (ie Smith.docx and Carol Smith docx). I have the same result but I only want one attachment?

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

I think I ran it twice

[@Priya-P]

Hi Kevin, Thank you for this amazing tech/life hack. This has helped me lot to do mail merge with my work and sending attachments as PDF and personalising the subject to the email.😀

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

Glad it helped!

[@manassehkisame6286]

Thanks for the take through,does this apply to Outlook Ofiice 365 unlike Outlook desktop?

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

I am nort sure sometimes Office 365 stops the merge.

[@ashleysturm1886]

This is awesome, Kevin. How do I find the full file location to add the linked spreadsheet? My files are only showing folder level (ex. C:\Users
ame\Desktop\MAIL MERGE consultant schedules) - but I have 20 different files in that folder. I tried right clicking on each file and looking at 'properties' but it's still only showing folder level.

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

Not sure without seeing it

[@vilcheesey]

Go to properties and then 'security' tab, then that full address for the file will be there, copy that address.

[@Loop2309]

Thank you very much, very easy to follow tutorial! Do you by any chance know if there is a way to keep the text in the word document as the core of the mail? If I follow your tutorial it leaves it blank, and if I simply add it in the last box as text for covering email message the formatting looks awful haha
In short I would like my word document to be the core text of the email and the attachment to simply be the pdf I selected :)

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

Not sure about this, maybe trying Power Automate

[@erickimani9088]

when i click Merge Tools, then Merge with Attachments, Word just freezes or hangs. What could be the issues because i have followed through every step.

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

are you using OneDrive? It may be the issue try just using a local drive

[@khooghi8539]

when I click on merge with attachments I get a message saying that the application is only designed to work with a letters type mail merge main document.

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

I have had that, Ste it to letter and see if it works, make sure you are not using OneDrive also

[@moody-lz8rv]

It’s possible to make attachment word to PDF

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

I think that is one of the options if you get the addIn

[@ragava7660]

HOW TO BUY IT ONCE ITS TRIAL VERSION OVERS

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

I did not have to buy it so I don't know

[@fasnak.s1596]

I am getting an error called 91 obejct variable or with block variable not set when i click merge with attachments

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

I am not sure about that error, try contacting the add in provider

[@libreofficetutorials9499]

Love it

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

thanks

[@DougVantour]

I have tried and tried but keep getting a file path error. Any ideas why?

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

ru using Office 365? Try saving to the computer not OneDrive

[@SaraStevens-rk8vj]

Im having some issues with attaching the documents as it says it has a problem with the fact its on Onedrive. Any advice greatly appreciated - Thank you very much!

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

It does not work with OneDrive you have to save it to your PC first

[@grannysaxton9568]

I like it, great

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

thanks

[@Albertbullterrier]

Amazing

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

Thanks

[@MrTomskerr]

This looks like a great tool. Unfortunately, the add-in zip file appears to contain a virus.

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

Really, it is recommended by Microsoft

[@ArmanViews]

I don't have merge tools in my word

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

It is an add in, which you have to download

[@ArmanViews]

@@ITsEasyTraining1st ok without the addin I think it is not possible to attach

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

@@ArmanViews correct

[@alberthernandez9833]

Did you find any alternatives to adding the merge tool in word?

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

@@alberthernandez9833 if you look at www.xelplus.com/ she has a video on her channel which shows it

[@Texas1FlyBoy]

Too bad the add-in isn't free. It's a trial version with 20 uses, then requires a purchased license. ☹

[@ITsEasyTraining1st]

well that must be new, I didn't pay for it and i have had it years

[@MrSmasher27]

do you mind sharing or uploading ur version ?@@ITsEasyTraining1st

did you select letter type first

[@sanketshanishchara3434]

@@ITsEasyTraining1st yes I did.
I started with email message first.
Then I opened a new word document, selected "letter" type and copy pasted the text, then saved it.

@@sanketshanishchara3434 I am not sure then, ru on a mac

[@sanketshanishchara3434]

@@ITsEasyTraining1st nope. I am on Windows 11 with a pre-installed Office Home & Student 2021 version. And this does not have Outlook for Desktop. It has that cloud based Mail/ Outlook app. Is it possible that this kind of Office 365/ Microsoft 365 apps don't support the old mail merge??
