Default Merging into individual documents

I'd like to produce an individual electronic copy of each form generated from
a mail merge.

To my knowledge, there's an easy way to merge a form for every record into
one document (which I don't want) or I can go through, select each record
individually, merge it to a document, and repeat this process for each record
(very time consuming). Is there a method to create an individual document
automatically for all records?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

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.
