You can execute the merge to a new document and then edit each individual
letter as it appears in that new document. If you would rather create
individual letters (that is a separate document for each letter), See the
"Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:
http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm
As you are using Word 2007, 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.

Hope this helps.

put specific information for that recipient. I have Office Professional
