Print Merged docs as individual files

[TobyB]

I've created a three page merged document using about 400 records. The resulting document consist of three pages per record. I've merged to printer but can't seem to get the finishing provided by the printer to properly duplex and staple the three pages associated with each record. What I get is all pages stapled together but duplexing properly applied. Obviously what I'd like is for the printer (Lexmark 820) to act as if the resulting merges are handled as 400 separate documents with each stapled individually. Is there a Word setting I'm missing or is this most probably a printer issue?

Hi Toby,

Use the following macro on the document created by executing the merge to a
new document:

Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Sections.Count
ActiveDocument.PrintOut range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i
