mailmerge

When I merge the main document with data records in the attached data source
(Excel sheet) and sends the results to the printer I get this error:

Run-time error '5661':

You cannot send a catalog created by merging documents directly to mail, fax
or printer.

Can anyone help solve my problem?

Try merging to a new document, then print that (ActiveDocument.PrintOut).

I tried mergng to a new document, but letters are not on seperate pages. How
can I fix that without having to do it manually?

In that case, why are you trying to create a Catalog type of mail merge? Why
not a Letter type? (Then you can merge directly to the printer!)
