Your original mail merge document is not touched.

A new document that looks just like your mail merge document is created, called SplitMerge.doc (the title bar shows the new name).

(BTW, the template name is SplitMerge.dot, but you shouldn’t have another one with that name in your Templates folder if this is the first time you’ve done this.) Click OK.

You’ll get a warning message that the template will overwrite any other template of the same name.

You’ll see a new Word toolbar button called Create Template for the Merge Document (it may be floating) - click it.

Copy the MMtoDocsRev37(Word 2003).dot file into the STARTUP folder.

This takes you straight to the STARTUP folder.

In the Address bar, type %appdata%\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP then press Enter.

You’ll get two folders - one for Word 2002-3 and one for Word 2007.

The mail merge document must already exist.

These steps must be done on the computer of the person running the mail merge - it’s not something that can be incorporated into the master mail merge document, nor something that can be done on a server.

So in the interests of making their steps nice and clear, here’s what you have to do in Word 2003 (I haven’t tested in Word 2007 yet - if I do, I’ll write a separate blog post for those steps). It’s hard to get a clear picture of what you have to do to get it to work. Problem: That webpage is a jumble of Word 20 options, troubleshooting options etc.

PLEASE NOTE: Graham Mayor's webpage was updated on 19 January 2012 (see his comment for this date below), so the rest of the information in this blog post MAY NOT be relevant. You’ve got to think that this would have been a common request for all the years that Word’s had a mail merge feature.Īnyhow, on to the solution, which is found here: In fact, it’s not something you can do from within the standard Word commands at all - you have to either add VBA to the Word document, purchase a separate application, or download a file someone else created that solves this problem. ) You’d think Microsoft would make this easy, but they don’t. What I thought would be a quick thing to do ended up taking a couple of hours of testing, searching, testing some more, followed by hair tearing. They are a government department and need to keep separate records of each funding request, which was the purpose of the mail merge document in the first place. Then they asked if they could get separate documents for each mail merge instance and save them automatically, using the organization’s name in the file name. The client from a week or so ago was very pleased with the mail merge document I had created for them.
