mail merge for each individual excel doc in a folder
What version of Word, what type of Data Source?
However, one certain way of doing it is to use the existing data source with a Directory type mailmerge main document in which you insert the mergefields into the cells of a one row table that has one extra column, that is required, but have nothing else in the document. When you execute that merge to a new document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each record in the data source. Insert a row at the top of that table and into the cells of that row insert the names of your mergefields (just the names as in your data source, not the actual mergefields) and then populate the additional empty column with the data that you require for each record. You can then save and use that file as a data source. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

LOL I am running Office 2003 Pro on XP Pro SP2. I have been searching the web for a solution to a project I'm working on, to no avail. I don't know if it's even possible. I have inserted the image of a form in a Word doc, I have mapped the fields to be merged from the data in excel spreadsheets I can perform the mail merge manually. The issue is, I have over one thousand excel doc's to perform the merge on. Can a macro be used to loop through a folder, merge and propogate to a new Wrd doc for each excel doc? This will create over one thousand word doc's, which will then be emailed to the corresponding employees. Also, can the name of the new Word doc created, be saved as the corresponding name as the Excel doc? Example, if the Excel doc is named 123abc.xls. can the new propogated Word doc be saved as 123ab.doc? Any assistance or links anyone knows of, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day! -- salventuro |
