Default Can I use mailmerge to create ind docs from source data?

I have a 1 page source document that I want to personalize via mailmerge from
400 item data source into seperate documents or pdfs.

If I merge to file, I get 400 page document. If I print to PDF, I get 400
page PDF. What I want is 400 individual docs or pdfs.

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
