It's still not working. Is there way to completely remove this add-in and
start over. I thought I did that but apparently I must have missed something.

Re-read the instructions on the web page to ensure that the unzipped
template file is in the correct folder.
Start Word
Open your merge document.
Merge to a new document.

Hi Doug,
I did that and something is still wrong - it seems to be ignoring the
add-in all together
Make sure that you start Word from the Start menu and not by double
clicking on a document in Windows Explorer.

When I execute the merge I don't have the option of creating
separate documents.

If you can see the wording "Create Template For the Merge
Document" on the
add-ins toolbar - that wording is the button and the only button
that the add-in needs ... and you only need to use that as
indicated in the web page
that accompanies the add-in when the original merge document
template is missing. The add-in functions activate automatically
when you run the merge.
You need to read the web page again!

Hi. I downloaded the add-in and I can see it on the add-in tab
but there are no button/icons on it. What happened? and more
importantly - how do fix it?
It seems you may have extracted the template to the wrong
folder. The correct folder for your copy of Word is defined in
Word Options Advanced File Locations Startup. Ensure that
this folder is a trusted location (it should be by default).
Note you must extract the file from the zip, not merely put the
zip in this folder.

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.

The only place that it will appear in the ribbon is if you go
the the Developer tab and click on the Document Template item

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.
