Default Adding file name to a mail merge using PDF

I have captured the macro for automatically PDF-ing the mail merge. It names
the file automatically. I would like to add an additional name into the file
name. ie: let's say the file name is "10222.pdf" and I would like to add
Allergen.10222.pdf. How would I add the word 'Allergen'? I would like for
it to automatically put the word "Allergen" as its PDF-ing. I don't want to
rename each file after the PDF mail merge. I hope I make sense. Thank you

Are you using the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate Files" that I have
written that can be downloaded from fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If so, the simplest thing to do would be to add Allergen to the field that
contains the filenames in the datasource. Alternatively, you could modify
the code so that the worl Allergen is hard coded into it, or so that it
requests you to provide a word to be inserted into the filename.

Hope this helps.
