the only reason i am hesitant to copy and paste, is sometimes it seems that
some of the formatting is lost. but how do you create a macro to do this?

IT GETS BETTER!
i just found out that this document("DOCUMENT2") which needs to be stapled
and duplexed needs to have a page from another merge
document("DOCUMENT1"),
printed before each stapled portion. is that possible to reference to
print
1ST RECORD OF merged DOCUMENT1 within a macro within DOCUMENT2? OR SHOULD
I
COPY AND PASTE DOCUMENT1 INTO DOCUMENT2 AND MERGE TOGETHER(THE DATABASE IS
THE SAME FOR BOTH), BUT I WOULDN'T SEE HOW YOU COULD TELL THE PRINTER TO
NOT
STAPLE AND DUPLEX THAT FIRST PAGE APART FROM THE OTHER PAGES. IF THERE
ISN'T
A WAY TO DO THIS, HOW ABOUT PREPRINTING DOCUMENT1 AND ASKING THE PRINTER
TO
PRINT A SEPERATOR SHEET(WHICH IS USUALLY A BLANK SHEET THAT PRINTS BETWEEN
SPOOLS). OF COURSE I RUN INTO THE PROBLEM OF GETTING THEM OUT OF ORDER IF
THE
PRINTER JAMS. WHICH DO YOU THINK WILL WORK. I PREFER TO LEAVE DOCS AS IS
WITHOUT COPYING AND PASTING, BUT WILL DO WHICHEVER YOU THINK WILL WORK
BEST.

If your document contains 2 sections, use
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count Step 2
.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i + 1
Next i
End With
If it contains n sections, replace 2 with n and 1 with n - 1

i have been using the formula to be able to staple multi pages of a
merged
doc
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count
.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i
End With
this would work if my multi doc didn't already have multi sections
which
seems to be difficult to reformat
is there anyway to in vb merge to doc using some insertbreak? please
help
