Default How to direct output from Word mail merge to multiple Word documents

Does anyone know if it is possible to send the results of a Word mail
merge to multiple Word documents instead of combining everything into a
single document?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Bill

Choose the "form letters" output.

Default How to direct output from Word mail merge to multiple Word documents

Thank you Sue, but I'm using Outlook 2003. There is no "form letters"
option, only "Letters". This option automatically combines the entire
merge into a single document. I've tried using the mail merge wizard
as well as handling it manually.

It seems like there should be a way to accomplish this. I want to be
able to output a series of customer letters to individual files and
then take further actions on these files before they are emailed.

Thanks.

Bill

Did you start the mail merge from Outlook? You need to do that for best results. You'll see the Form Letters option in the OUtlook dialog.
