The type of document you merge into is really immaterial - the basics are
covered at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm or
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm
What you require here is a letter type merge (which is the default for Word
merges).

Default Law Firm merge

Mail merge is probably not the best tool for that purpose. It is really
intended for the production of copies of the same document for multiple
clients, rather than a series of different documents for a single client.

To do what you want, a better approach would be to load a combo box on a
userform with all of your clients, and have a multi-select list box on the
userform that is populated with the templates for each legal form. Then
you would select the client for whom you want to create the forms from the
combo box and select each template that you want to use, and then click on a
button on that form, and code would run to create a document from each
template populating Docvariable fields in that template with the information
pertaining to the selected client.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:
