I don't know how you can change the behaviour of the "To New Document"
option in Step 6 of the Mail Merge Wizard, but you can create a macro that
does what the Merge to New Document button eventually does and add a new
toolbar button (perhaps to the Mail Merge toolbar) to run it.
e.g.
Sub myMailMergeToDoc()
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
' start of optional chunk
' what you put in here depends on what you want to do
.SuppressBlankLines = True
With .DataSource
.FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
.LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
End With
' end of optional chunk
.Execute Pause:=False
End With
End Sub
If you rename the macro to MailMergeToDoc then the existing mail merge
toolbar button should execute this macro instead of the built-in command.

My computer was just recently converted from Windows2000 to Windows XP.
After the conversion I am having the following issue. After clicking the
"Merge to a New Document" function in Word I get a dialogue window that pops
up (called, Merge Records) asking me to select an option of "All", "Current
Records", or "From". I do not want to have to answer this pop up window
every time I do this merge. Is there an option of turning this pop up
dialogue window off?
