Populate a distribution list by criteria

I am trying to create a distribution list to include only entries with the
same category, or same company - it looks like my only option in the 'search
for' area is to search by name. Is there a way to search by other criteria?
 
I don't believe there is. However, a better way to accomplish what you are
doing is to view your contacts by category and build an email merge from
that list. This will send individual emails and can be more personal as a
result.
 
I successfully generated the "view" I want with only contacts I want to put
in my email. When I try to do a mail merge I get lost when I select email.
It starts Word and I have written a short test, but no idea how to continue?

I read another post that said one cannot send attachments this way. My
intent is to distribute a newsletter to about 250 recipients - I guess I
could put it in the body of the email?
 
There is a merge to email function that will start the process. I would
suggest turning on the mail merge toolbar. Yes, you would have to include
your message in the body. From my understanding you can't include
attachments in an email merge.
