Default Combine multiple merges into one document

Hi ?B?a2F1Zm1lZA==?=,

I have written an app in access to accept bio data for individuals. This
data is sent to word for merging. The catch: I have 60 different letters to
which the data can be sent--depending on which letter the user selects for
the individual. I want to capture the resulting merge for each letter type
and merge the letters into one master document that the user can
review/print.

I think I follow what you intend. My advice would be to provide a form with
checkboxes. The user indicates by clicking the checkboxes which separate
documents he wants to use.

The code then starts with a single document created from a template attached to
the data source. Using Insert/File it inserts each required document, which
already contains merge fields. The mail merge is then executed - the "master
document" is the result.
