Mail Merge Toolkit

Mail merge with MS Word and include individualised attached files

Mail Merge with attachments

As soon as Mail Merge Toolkit is installed, you can attach files to the message. Perform the mail merge the same way as you do it
usually and click the “Mail Merge Toolkit” option on the last step of the “Step by step wizard” in Microsoft Word to specify the necessary attachments.

Read the article about mail merging with attached files for all the details.

Send personal attachments in your mailings

Mail Merge Toolkit offers a way to send personal attachments. You just need to specify the path to the file in a separate column in the data source
(Excel spreadsheet, CSV, database, etc.) and enter the name of this field instead of the attachments in the Mail Merge Toolkit.

See how it works in this short video - Mail Merge with personal attachments.
