Download the MergeTools – 20120609 Add-in that I created from the following page of my Windows Live SkyDrive:

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=5aedcb43615e886b#cid=5AEDCB43615E886B&id=5AEDCB43615E886B%21111

and also the Mail Merging with Charts document that is also on that page.  That document explains how you must set up the Excel Data Source and the Mail Merge Main document to be able to execute a merge with a Chart that is unique to each record in the data source.

    Hi Doug!

    Thank you so much for sharing this great tool! This is very helpful!  I tried creating one chart and applied the mail merge to 12 schools, and it worked!  Do you think the tool would work for multiple charts per record? If so, how shall I configure the Excel file to make that work? 

    Thank you!!

    The application would need to be customized to handle multiple charts.

    If you contact me by e-mail with a data source that contains the charts and document that is set up for where you want them to appear, I will let you know what it would take.

    Not wishing to tread on Doug's toes, but FWIW - http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_charts.htm will work with multiple charts.
