Word 2007 - mail merge question

[BokiB]

Hey guys,

I hope this is the right forum to post this question regarding mail merge in 2007.

Once you are finished with the merge, you have three options:
1. edit individual documents
2. send to e-mail
3. print

The problem with the first options is that it places all the letters in 1 document. Is there some way to create a separate word document per letter, instead of putting them all in 1 document?

Thanks for your help

Hi BokiB,

That's the way mailmerge works. However, if you've got Adobe Acrobat Pro (V6 or later) installed, that app gives you the option to generate individual PDFs from a mailmerge.

Failing that, you could split the Word document after merging. Alternatively you could drive the mailmerge process via an Add-in. See:

for both a splitter macrfo and an Add-in utility.
