This add-in only works with Word 2002 and 2003
From tools options security macro security - set the security level to
Medium - not Low!
Click the trusted publishers tab and ensure there is a check in the box
adjacent to the 'trust all installed add-ins and templates' entry.
There is an issue of terminology here that is confusing the issue. eg
'attached template'?
If you open Word and select tools templates and add-ins - the attached
template is the 'Document template' at the top of the window. The bottom of
the window has a panel that lists the addins loaded from the startup folder.
MMtoDocsRev19.dot should be listed here and have a check in the box adjacent
to show that it is active. If it is not there, it isn't stored in the
correct folder. The correct folder is listed at tools options file
locations startup.
The macros will not be listed in the organizer unless you spefically load
that template into the organizer. They will however be listed in the
available macros list - tools macros macro - in the 'macros in' box
select the template name to list only those macros. Obviously if the
template isn't installed they will not be present.

Hi Graham.
Thanks for the prompt response. I am a firm believer in RIF (Reading
is Fundamental). I read the page before I posted. The template is
in my word startup folder, it shows as an attached template in my
merge(setup) document. I checked to make sure the security is low
enough to allow the macros to run. As I said, the macros do not
launch. The only other thing I noticed is that in the organizer that
the template is not available in the dropdown and the macros do not
appear. Suggestions.
Would you be talking about the add-in at
http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm ?
This must be installed in the Word startup folder - as defined at
tools file locations startup. It then should be listed and
checked in tools templates & add-ins, when you next start Word.
That being the case it activates automatically when you merge to a
new document. Re-read the page!

Help!! I downloaded the macro and thought I followed the
instructions pretty carefully. The macro never launches, although I
can see the template as attached to my merge document. However, I
do not see the macro items in the organizer.
Is there somehow a way to merge the records to individual new
documents instead of merging to a single one with many pages?
Thanks
