I am following a technique found in another thread on this site to loop
through the sections in a final merge document to break the document into
multiple pieces that relate to a specific customer. The code snippet is
below:

for (int i = 1; i wordDoc.Sections.Count; i++)
{

DataRow rowHistory = this.mAppDataSet.History.Rows[(i-1)];

if(rowHistory != null)
rowHistory["Notes"] = wordDoc.Sections.Item(i).Range.
FormattedText.Text;

}

This works great for documents that do not have any sections defined by the
user - for example, a page break. Is there any way to distinguish between a
regular page break and the end of the section for a particular merge record's
section? Thanks in advance.

Dim i As Long, Source As Document, Target As Document, Letter As Range
Set Source = ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To Source.Sections.Count Step 2
Set Letter = Source.Sections(i).Range
Letter.End = Source.Sections(i + 1).Range.End
Set Target = Documents.Add
Target.Range.FormattedText = Letter.FormattedText
Target.SaveAs FileName:="Letter" & i
Target.Close
Next i

If each letter contains n sections, replace Step 2 with Step n and
Sections(i + 1) with Sections(i + (n - 1))
