Mail Merge Subdocuments?
It depends what you are trying to do. If adding the documents to the end of
the first so that you have one large document works for you, then yes, otherwise no. You can however merge the same data into any number of merge documents separately. If you mean merge multiple data files into one document, then no. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org triplespiral wrote: Is it possible to put several mail merge documents into one main document?

Mail Merge Subdocuments?
Sorry - let me clarify.
I am working on a database for some co-workers who have little computer experience. There are 4 different mail merge letters (merging from same DB, different queries) that need to be run each week - I was hoping that instead of clicking 4 buttons, I could make it even easier and click one that would run all four (through a master document) but I'm guessing because they are all mail merge it makes it far more complicated. I put it together but it seems to only pull the first merge record and that's it. no worries - i was just being hopeful. "Graham Mayor" wrote: It depends what you are trying to do.

Mail Merge Subdocuments?
Hi ?B?dHJpcGxlc3BpcmFs?=,
I am working on a database for some co-workers who have little computer experience. There are 4 different mail merge letters (merging from same DB, different queries) that need to be run each week - I was hoping that instead of clicking 4 buttons, I could make it even easier and click one that would run all four (through a master document) but I'm guessing because they are all mail merge it makes it far more complicated. I put it together but it seems to only pull the first merge record and that's it. Nope, mail merge can't do this. If all the query records match up, right down the line, you could possibly create ONE query that unites them, so that all the fields are available in the one data source. Then you could use Insert/File to make one mail merge document, link to that query, and away you go.
