Saving Mail Merge Documents indicidually.. Please Help

[Andy]

Hi All..

I need some help with my mail merge.
I am using Word 2002. I have no problem creating the mail merge but I need
to save the result as individual files using a column in the data source
called "Filename".

I have tried this before and I'm sure I had a little prgram that asked me at
the end of the mail merge how and where I wanted to save the documents but
for the life of me I can't remember how I got it working last time.

I have looked online and found a No of different Macro's but I am a complete
novice when it comes to Macros and can't get any of them to work. Can anyone
help.. I just need to mail merge one 7 page document and then save the
results individually to a directory of my choice.

any help will surely save me pulling the rest of my hair out.
Thanks in advance
Andy

You've posted to the Mac Word newsgroup - not that we wouldn't like to help,
but in this case you'll need PC-specific information even for a macro &
especially for a 3rd-party add-in. Start here:

See

and for Windows Word mailmerge issues, you're better off posting in the
microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields group (which I believe Microsoft
communities still calls "Mailmerge and Fax"
