multi page merge

[JHelfrich]

I am trying to print my 3-page merged annual giving letter from our Canon
Imagerunner 5000i. I want print the 1st page of the letter from the
letterhead drawer and the rest from the plain paper. I have about 1,000
3-page letters. Is there some sort of a code I can insert in the word 2002
merge letter document to tell it to start over and pull from the letterhead
drawer for the 2nd letter - right now it only pulls the 1st page of 3000
pages from the letterhead drawer (I haven't actually wasted that paper...but
that is what would happen). I have looked in the Canon book - don't see an
answer. I figure the mail houses must have some way of making this happen.
All 3 pages of the letter are personalized and it would be considerable work
to do the pages separatey and then put them back together again, or to print
each letter separately. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

If you execute the merge to a new document and then use the following macro,
each letter will be treated as a separate print job:

Dim i as Long

For i = 1 to ActiveDocument.Sections.Count
ActiveDocument Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i

It may need something more however to achieve your aim.
