Default Save a mail merge main doc as separate records?

Thanks Doug and Graham, the MMtoDocsRevnn.dot item isn't showing when I go to
the Developer tab, click on Document Template item and look at the Templates
tab. Nothing is shown in there. Does this mean I have extracted the add-in to
the incorrect file and if so, what can I do? Thanks.

Doug - The supplementary macro I added to the download to create a template
from the document, when the original template is not available should appear
on the add-ins tab, so lack of such a tab suggests that the add-in is not
loading.

Templates tab of the Templates and Add-ins dialog and the
MMtoDocsRevnn.dot item should appear there with a check mark against
it.
There is no macro that you have to select and run to create the
separate documents. Just follow the steps on the website - Click on
Edit Individual Letters and after dealing with the dialog in which
you can select the records to be merged, the add-in then intercepts
the Word merge operation and the dialog that asks if you want to
create a separate document for each record will appear.

Thanks Graham, I looked on your site and followed the link to Doug
Robbins'
Word Add-in for individually saving merged documents. I've
extracted the add-in to where instructed but it isn't showing on the
ribbon and nothing happens when I finalise a mailmerge. Do you know
what I've done wrong please? I started Word before Outlook and from
the start menu after extracting the add-in. I don't have an Add-in
tab on the ribbon. Thank you!

Hello,

Is it possible to quickly break down a mail merged document into
it's individual records so as to save each letter as a separate
file please?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
