Default Saving mail merged letter seperately then emailing

Thanks a million Doug! I emailed it to you! You are saving me lots of time!

Do you have a folder named My Documents in the Z: drive.

If you email the document created by executing the merge to a new document
to me, I will split it up for you - No Charge.

do I need to create the macro? since it does not give me the prompt?

The one you have down loaded is the latest (we keep tweaking it).
After you
install it in the Start up folder, you must restart Word and whenever
you
start Word, it must be started before Outlook (if you use Word as the
editor
in Outlook) and it must be started from the Windows Start menu and
not by
double clicking, or right clicking on a Word document on the desktop
or in
Windows Explorer.

Hi doug!

Your site states that I need to extract the MMtoDocRevnn.DOT
template but
when i clicked on the word add-in template it gave me
MMtoDocRev28.DOT.
So I
used it and put it in start up but when I did the merge the macro
code did
not take over to offer the choice of merging to separate documents
or
continuing with a merge to a single document. even though it did
actually
seperate them to different pages within one document. I assume
that I
need
most recent MMtoDocRevnn.DOT template so I can get that prompt.
Where do
i
need to go to get it??



The latest version of this code is available for download as a Word
add-in
template. Extract the MMtoDocsRevnn.DOT template (where nn is the
latest
revision number) to the Word startup folder - its location defined
in Word
at
Tools Options File Locations Startup

If you want to send the letters as attachments to an email
message, see
the
"Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to
Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that
site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename
taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.

and then for the emailing of them, see the article "Mail Merge to
E-mail
with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm

Otherwise, as mentioned by Cathyall, you can execute the merge to
email,
in
which case, your letter will be inserted into the body of each
email
message.

I have succesfully merged my document, now I want to save them as
seperate
documents but it will only allow me to save it as one huge one.
Once
saved
seperately, I then need to email them using the email address on
each
letter
as an email merge. Can this be done or am I asking for too
much??
