Save mail merge as individual letters.

[Bell]

I've been running the add-inn downloaded from;
http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm
but can't get it to work.
I have checked that the Object Libraries in VBA for Word and Office are
checked and have added the Add-In in the startup folder
I open up Word from the Start - Program Menu. Within the mail merge I choose
Letters, Use an existing document as template and then move forth in the mail
merge. However as I click Ok having checked All in the Edit Individual
Letters menu Word creates one document with all letters instead of offering
me the options as expressed at
http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm.
I'm using Word 2003.

Is there anything I do wrong?

Greatful to answers.

Do you have macro security set to trust installed templates and macros?

I take it that it is listed and checked in tools > templates and add-ins?
No doubt Doug (who wrote the add-in) will be along soon to offer his two
penn'orth.

Are you using Word as the editor in Outlook? If so, you must start Word
before starting Outlook otherwise, the autoexec macro in the add-in will not
run.

Hi Graham,

I thought that it was you that discovered that when I was first playing with
this. In addition, the addin will not work if Word was started by double
clicking on a file on the Desktop, in Windows Explorer, or as an attachment
to an Email message.

In short, Word must be started from the Start menu for the addin to work.

Hi Doug,
I'm just using word. Have been trying with Outlook closed. I also tried
merging from an empty document, in case there should be something wrong in
the template I normally use, but I still doesn't work. Any more suggestions?
I have got it to work once but not since.

Thanks Johan

All I can suggest is that your download another copy of the add-in and
discard the one that you now have and try with the new one.
