mail merge question

[alex]

Hello experts,

I have a mail merge template linked to an Access database.

The merge works fine; however, I'd like to save each doc/record (as I
cycle through the records) as a non mail merged document.

I can easily do this by selecting File > Save As > doc name. Problem
is, however, that one I change the mail merged doc to a non mail
merged doc I lose the remaining records, i.e., the ability to view
each record through Word.

I'm wondering if anyone has a trick/advice...

To clarify:

Let's say I have ten records in Access. I open my Word doc, select
mail merge and view my first record. Once I view my first record, I
would like to save that record as a regular Word doc, but keep viewing
the other nine records while saving them as reg docs as well!

I hope I haven't confused anyone.

If using Word 2003 go on to step #6 of the Mail Merge & click "Edit
individual letters...", then either click OK to generate a new doc
containing 1 copy of your form doc for each record in the merge or enter the
number of the record(s) you want to generate the doc to contain. If you want
a separate doc for each record you'll have to do the latter for each one
(1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.) which isn't too bad for just 10 records. If you have
many more than that it gets old real quick, so you might want to take a look
at the following page:
