how do I get Word to recognize a merged file as seperate documents
I have a 6 page Word document that I am using in a Merge. I have a merge
field in the heading of the document that enters the name of the company from an Excel spreadsheet. When I merge the document and print it, Word is seeing my document as one large document instead of 200 individual letters, so I am not able to use the staple feature on the printer. What can I do to get Word to recognize 200 individual letters of 6 pages rather than one document of 1,200 pages? -- hiz5 |

the following code, it will send each 6 page letter to the printer as a separate print job, so that the printer can then do its thing as it does when printing a single letter. Dim i As Long With ActiveDocument For i = 1 To .Sections.Count Step 1 .PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i Next i End With -- Hope this helps.
