merge to create new docs so footer (page X of X) comes out right
I am doing a merge of a 4-page document that has a footer (page X of 4).
when i do the merge, the merged document is 28 pages because i have 7 rows of data. how do i tell it to create new documents for each row? or can i? currently, after the merge my footer says page X of 28 when it should only be page X of 4. thank you in advance |

See the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
at: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm 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. When you create individual documents in one of those ways, a NUMPAGES field should then show the correct total of the pages in each document. Otherwise, you can use a SECTIONPAGES field, which will display the number of pages in each Section of the Document (When a formletter type document is merged to a new document, the letter for each record is contained in a separate Section.) -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Soula" wrote in message ...
