Can a word mail merge output each page as a different file?
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. |

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. -- 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 "Stephen G." Stephen wrote in message ...
