Can I send a mail merge using contacts in Excel via Outlook?

I entered all of my contacts in Excel, thinking that I could create a message
in Word and then mail merge it. The word document has photographs and text.
When I tried to merge the message went through minus the photographs. Is it
possible to create the same message in Outlook and still mail merge using
Excel? Or is there a way to transfer my contacts into Outlook and then send
personalized messages? Or is there a way to fix my Word document to mail
merge so that the pictures send with the email?

We can't answer when you don't post your versions.
