Default Mail Merge to multiple docs to save as multiple files

What is the path of the folder to where you saved the .dot file?

If you have installed the add-in in the correct place, all you have to do is
execute the merge to a new document and you will then be asked if you want
to create individual documents.

Okay, I deleted everything I did previously and reread the instructions
and started over. I apologize but the majority of this is over my head so
I thank you for your patience ahead of time. I extracted the zip file to
the STARTUP folder just as you stated before.

Just to be clear, by doing this does this mean that now the macro should
start everytime Word starts? Because I opened it from the start menu and
the toolbar is not there.

So I opened the template from the STARTUP folder AFTER opening Word from
the start menu and proceeded. Same problem. I add the recipients to my
document, hit "split the Merge" and get the 'All, current, selected' box.
Selected All...and another window opens with the new document but I still
don't get the box asking about separating to different files. What am I
doing wrong?


Also, I couldn't find this convo on the Microsoft discussion group. Not
sure why but I found it on Egghead Cafe. I hope this still counts as part
of your help newsgroups

The template that you downloaded needs to be saved in the Word Startup
folder, which for your system will be located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup
