    Split Mail Merge & Save as Seperate Documents

    Hi,

    I have a set of documents which I have used to mail merge in the past and these were then printed and posted out. This year the members of the voluntary organisation that I am Chairman of have requested that we send them by email where possible.

    I need a macro that will mail merge the document one document at a time and save the document using the four of the data fields namely -

    <<Title>>
    <<Initial>>
    <<Surname>>
    <<Email_Address>>

    After saving close that document and move onto the next document and do the same.

    I picked the following up on the internet but it goes wrong in the ActiveWorkbook.Close part of the macro and I can't work out what is going on.

    Many thanks for any help

    Timbo

    ActiveWorkbook.Close is an Excel method, but you're trying to use it on a Word document, for which the equivalent is ActiveDocument.Close. That said, I suggest you look at the 'Send Mailmerge Output to Individual Files' topic in the Mailmerge Tips and Tricks threads at:
