Situation. A friend (that's 3 now) has her contacts in Outlook.

We want to produce separate word documents and send as an email attachments. I have used PDF995 as a cheap Adobe Acrobat to generate file output. However, the printer driver produces a single PDF file whereas I really want a separate file for each resulting document. Can I get the mail merge wizard to produce separate files?

Further, are there any third party outlook add-ins that allow one to produce multiple outlook messages directly rather than using ms-word as the target for the mail merge? I am guessing that mail merge is a function of word so this approach is not viable?

Does it have to be an attachment - would be much easier if the document was part of the email
