Add margins to email merge from Word
Send it as an attachment (pdf format is best if layout is critical) using the Merge with Attachments facility on the MergeTools – 20130627 Add-in that I created that you can download from the
following page of my Windows Live SkyDrive:
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=5aedcb43615e886b#!/?cid=5AEDCB43615E886B!cid=5AEDCB43615E886B&id=5AEDCB43615E886B%21566
Save the file in the Word Startup folder. In Windows XP the default location for that folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
In Windows Vista and Windows 7, it is
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
When you have done that, the tab shown below will be added to the Ribbon:

One thing to note is that the field names in your data source must contain only alphanumeric characters (No @,#,$,%,&,(,), etc) and the field names must not start with a numeric character (0-9).
You may also want to download the Merging with Attachments document that is also on that page which explains how
the system is used. It is not actually necessary to have separate attachments as the facility can be used to send just the documents created by the merge itself as attachments, either in the form of Word files or .pdf files.
