Merge to separate docs
I need to a mail merge that creates an individual Word doc for each
merge record rather than the single document created w/ the 'Merge to New Document Option'. Obviously it needs to create unique file names. Ideally I could define the file names using a field from the merge. I don't imagine this can be done during the actual merge so some kind of macro that can create a unique file from the section breaks in the single file would be great. Extra Info: The reaso I need this is because I am using the "catalogue merge" macro to automatically add attachments to an email merge, thus I need the individual files. I am using Word 2000 Thanks |

Merge to separate docs
The work has all been done for you.
See the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss. and See the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "livetohike" wrote in message ...
