Default 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.
