Hello,

Is it possible to quickly break down a mail merged document into it's
individual records so as to save each letter as a separate file please?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Graham, I looked on your site and followed the link to Doug Robbins'
Word Add-in for individually saving merged documents. I've extracted the
add-in to where instructed but it isn't showing on the ribbon and nothing
happens when I finalise a mailmerge. Do you know what I've done wrong
please? I started Word before Outlook and from the start menu after
extracting the add-in. I don't have an Add-in tab on the ribbon. Thank you!

Is the add-in listed as enabled in Word Options Add-ins?
Is the location you have extracted the add-in to listed as a trusted
location?

The only place that it will appear in the ribbon is if you go the the
Developer tab and click on the Document Template item and look at the
Templates tab of the Templates and Add-ins dialog and the MMtoDocsRevnn.dot
item should appear there with a check mark against it.

There is no macro that you have to select and run to create the separate
documents. Just follow the steps on the website - Click on Edit Individual
Letters and after dealing with the dialog in which you can select the
records to be merged, the add-in then intercepts the Word merge operation
and the dialog that asks if you want to create a separate document for each
record will appear.

Hope this helps.

Doug - The supplementary macro I added to the download to create a template
from the document, when the original template is not available should appear
on the add-ins tab, so lack of such a tab suggests that the add-in is not
loading.

Thanks Doug and Graham, the MMtoDocsRevnn.dot item isn't showing when I go to
the Developer tab, click on Document Template item and look at the Templates
tab. Nothing is shown in there. Does this mean I have extracted the add-in to
the incorrect file and if so, what can I do? Thanks.

It seems you may have extracted the template to the wrong folder. The
correct folder for your copy of Word is defined in Word Options Advanced
File Locations Startup. Ensure that this folder is a trusted location (it
should be by default). Note you must extract the file from the zip, not
merely put the zip in this folder.

If you can see the wording "Create Template For the Merge Document" on the
add-ins toolbar - that wording is the button and the only button that the
add-in needs ... and you only need to use that as indicated in the web page
that accompanies the add-in when the original merge document template is
missing. The add-in functions activate automatically when you run the merge.

You need to read the web page again!

It seems you may have extracted the template to the wrong
folder. The correct folder for your copy of Word is defined in
Word Options Advanced File Locations Startup. Ensure that
this folder is a trusted location (it should be by default).
Note you must extract the file from the zip, not merely put the
zip in this folder.

this mean I have extracted the add-in to the incorrect file and
if so, what can I do? Thanks.

There is no macro that you have to select and run to create
the separate documents. Just follow the steps on the website
- Click on Edit Individual Letters and after dealing with the
dialog in which you can select the records to be merged, the
add-in then intercepts the Word merge operation and the
dialog that asks if you want to create a separate document
for each record will appear.

Doug Robbins'
Word Add-in for individually saving merged documents. I've
extracted the add-in to where instructed but it isn't
showing on the ribbon and nothing happens when I finalise a
mailmerge. Do you know what I've done wrong please? I
started Word before Outlook and from the start menu after
extracting the add-in. I don't have an Add-in tab on the
ribbon. Thank you!

Hello,

Is it possible to quickly break down a mail merged document
into it's individual records so as to save each letter as a

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's still not working. Is there way to completely remove this add-in and
start over. I thought I did that but apparently I must have missed something.

Make sure that you start Word from the Start menu and not by double
clicking on a document in Windows Explorer.

To remove it, just delete it from the Word Startup folder. Are you sure
that you installed it in that folder and not in the folder at

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\STARTUP
