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.

I work in a school and next year will be working with access to do
supplementary reports for pupils. However this year I have designed the
reports in word and can mail merge the pupil details to the report. This
gives me a 555 page document. I would rather have 555 documents that I
could
sort into Form Year and Group for teachers to fill in the details. Is
there a
way I can merge to seperate files rather than pages - I could use a file
naming convention of year group surname chosen name (the merge fields) to
make the filenames unique and easy to sort into seperate folders.
