Default Can I use mail merge to create docs that save a separate files?

I have 300 35-page documents to create. I would like to use mail merge to
speed up creating a "unique" number in each file. I'll then be emailing them
individually. This requires having mail merge save the merged data in
separate files, rather than a single 117 MB file. Is this possible? If so,
how would you go about setting it up?

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.

Also see the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm
