Default Save a mail merge main doc as separate records?

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 and look
at the Templates tab of the Templates and Add-ins 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.

news 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.
