Document variables can only be created by the use of Visual Basic. However,
using Visual Basic, it is certainly possible to create variables for each
document produced by a mailmerge. The mailmerge process itself however
cannot do it.

Better if you tell us exactly what the purpose of the variables will be so
that we can suggest what's best.

Is it possible to declare variables and set them equal to the value of

fields during a mail merge?
