Save a mail merge main doc as separate records?
Thanks Graham, I looked on your site and followed the link to Doug Robbins'
Word Add-in for individually saving merged documents. I've extracted the add-in to where instructed but it isn't showing on the ribbon and nothing happens when I finalise a mailmerge. Do you know what I've done wrong please? I started Word before Outlook and from the start menu after extracting the add-in. I don't have an Add-in tab on the ribbon. Thank you!

Is the add-in listed as enabled in Word Options Add-ins?
Is the location you have extracted the add-in to listed as a trusted location? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Debs1967 wrote: Thanks Graham, I looked on your site and followed the link to Doug Robbins' Word Add-in for individually saving merged documents.

The only place that it will appear in the ribbon is if you go the the
Developer tab and click on the Document Template item and look at the Templates tab of the Templates and Add-ins dialog and the MMtoDocsRevnn.dot item should appear there with a check mark against it. There is no macro that you have to select and run to create the separate documents. Just follow the steps on the website - Click on Edit Individual Letters and after dealing with the dialog in which you can select the records to be merged, the add-in then intercepts the Word merge operation and the dialog that asks if you want to create a separate document for each record will appear. -- Hope this helps.

Doug - The supplementary macro I added to the download to create a template
from the document, when the original template is not available should appear on the add-ins tab, so lack of such a tab suggests that the add-in is not loading. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: The only place that it will appear in the ribbon is if you go the the Developer tab and click on the Document Template item and look at the Templates tab of the Templates and Add-ins dialog and the MMtoDocsRevnn.dot item should appear there with a check mark against it.

Thanks Doug and Graham, the MMtoDocsRevnn.dot item isn't showing when I go to
the Developer tab, click on Document Template item and look at the Templates tab. Nothing is shown in there. Does this mean I have extracted the add-in to the incorrect file and if so, what can I do?

It seems you may have extracted the template to the wrong folder. The
correct folder for your copy of Word is defined in Word Options Advanced File Locations Startup. Ensure that this folder is a trusted location (it should be by default). Note you must extract the file from the zip, not merely put the zip in this folder. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Debs1967 wrote: Thanks Doug and Graham, the MMtoDocsRevnn.dot item isn't showing when I go to the Developer tab, click on Document Template item and look at the Templates tab.

If you can see the wording "Create Template For the Merge Document" on the
add-ins toolbar - that wording is the button and the only button that the add-in needs ... and you only need to use that as indicated in the web page that accompanies the add-in when the original merge document template is missing.

that you installed it in that folder and not in the folder at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\STARTUP -- Hope this helps.
