AutoNew not triggered by Merge to New Document

[Walter Briscoe]

I failed to find anything on this via groups.google.com.
I use Word 2003 SP1 on Windows XP Professional SP2

Peter Jamieson has been hugely helpful in getting me to where I am in
filtering table rows in a mail merge.

I have code I want to run after "Merge to New Document" creates a new
document. I tried AutoNew but it is not triggered. (It might not be
relevant as the sequence might have been:
create_new_document; autonew; fill_new_document where I want:
create_new_document; fill_new_document; autonew.)

The "auto macros" VBA help topic does not help.
The mailmerge document property has no event, I could attach code to.

An alternative approach might be to run the relevant code via a
keystroke but 1) keystrokes mappings are not exported to the new
document; 2) I REALLY don't want to run the relevant code in the source
document; 3) I don't know how to automate creation of the mapping in the
new document.

There are mail merge events that you should be able to use for your purpose.

Such events are used in the add-in the create separate documents when
executing a mail merge that you can download from fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
