    I'm trying to use MS Word and Outlook 2003 to send a bunch of emails with attachments but apparently this option is not allowed.

    ¿Any clean way to do this?

    Here is an article that is on point for you: Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments ...

    This procedure can be used to mail merge to e-mail, including attachments with each message when Microsoft Office Outlook is installed. It has been used with all versions of Office from Office 97 up to and including Office 2007.

    Is there any shortcut or way to create a shortcut to attach selected file as mail attachment in Outlook. Now, I've to right click the selected file and use "Send To-->Mail Recipient" option. A shortcut will help a lot.

    Ctrl + N in outlook will open new email. You can copy past the attachment to the new email.

    Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V ;-)

    There is no default Windows shortcut, however you would be able to create your own using AutoHotKey

    For those who like to work at the command line, check out blat. Once configured, it can be used to form and send a complete email from a single command. Note that blat is a complete mail user agent itself: it does not use Outlook or any other mailer on the PC.

    For example, the following command:

    C:\...>blat -to [email protected] -subject "Totality" -attach total.jpg -body "Here's that shot of the total eclipse"
Blat v2.6.2 w/GSS encryption (build : Feb 25 2007 12:06:19)

Sending stdin.txt to [email protected]
Subject: Totality
Login name is [email protected]
Attached binary file: total.jpg

C:\...>

    Sends a photo along with a short text caption to a single recipient, printing some reassuring progress notes along the way.

    It is actually quite the powerful tool, and can be handy if you need to have a long-running (or scheduled at odd times) batch job that you'd like to report results from.

    I have Outlook 2010. The answer here is simply: AltN, then AF. This will bring up your word files for attachment.

    Just use the default ALT (underlined) shorcuts, so for Sent to Mail Recipient:

    ALT + F N M

    Try the following sequence: F10, F, D, A
