mail merge protection
See the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm and 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. Use the ability of that Add-in to create .pdf files so that the user cannot edit them. -- Hope this helps.

mail merge protection
Thanks for your response but making individual files will force me to have to
send each document as a separate email. Is there any way around that? The purpose of me running a mail merge is to send the same letter to clients with their personal information all at once to cut down on the time to manually send each separate document. In addition i do not want the client to be able to edit the document.

I gave you two links to look at. A combination of the two will allow you to
automate most of the operation. -- 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 "D.
