Saving a merged document individually

[Iceman]

I want to save each page of a merged document separately. Is there any way
to automate this process? For example, if my merged document is 100 pages
long (50 documents @ 2 pages each) I want to save each 2 page section as a
separate file so I will have 50 saved documents. Is a merge, or mail merge,
the way to do this, or is there another way?

I am trying to create nearly identical html pages for a web site that I can
save individually and publish to my web. I want to merge the product name
and description into a template form, and save the newly merged documents
individually as "producta.htm", "productb.htm", etc.

There are a couple of approaches. You'll find one on my website, and another
on mvps.org/word.

Thanks for the links. I am using Word 2002 and without being knowledgable
with Visual Basic is there any other way to perform this? I have tinkered
with merging and my files seem to work properly for my needs (500 records)
but I need a way to save the files individually. I have no idea how to run
VB code on my merged 6000 page document. Thanks for any additional
pointers.
