Run a Mail Merge to Output Multiple Text Files?

[tim.j.hart]

MS Word will happily let me mail merge to create a single large file.
But I want a bunch of little files!

How might I run a mail merge or macro that would create a seperate text
file (.txt) for each letter?

I certainly appreciate your insight!

See the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
at:

If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.
