Default Word Mail Merge with Access

We are using MS Word 2002, Access 2002. Using a single query in access we
have a variety of documents whose data source is the same query.
Staff routinely "open" one merge document at a time, perform the merge,
close the document, then open another document also linked to the same query
and repeat the process for each subsequent document. So to be more efficient
we would like to "open" a number of documents that are all linked to the same
query.

Do you mean that you want to produce several completely different letters
(say) depending ont he value of one or more fields in the Access database?
If so, the simplest appraoch is to do one merge for each letter and either
create an Access query to select the records for each merge, or do it using
the filtering facilities within Word.

If you mean something else, could you give an example? It may help if you
can tell us the version of Word and Access.
