It is the *content* of the zip file - in particular the version of the
template for your Word version - that needs to be extracted *from* the zip
file. The zip file alone will not work. *Only install the version required
for your version of Word*.
If the template is correctly installed, when you start Word, you will get a
custom toolbar in Word 2003 and extra commands added to the ribbon in Word
2007. If you don't have those it is not installed correctly and will not
work.

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
