I have several templates in a word directory that are used to merge
information from Access to them. Is it possible to automatically do a saveas
when raw document is created by these templates based on the value of a field
in the merge that is not placed in the document and save this document in a
different directory. I am using Word & Access 2003.

I suspect that http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm will fill
the bill.

Assuming that you saved the add-in in the right location (Word\Startup
folder), make sure that you start Word from the Start menu, and before you
start Outlook.
