All,

Need to find a way how to save the merged file.

I have already executed the merge with the following 2 statements...

Object oFalse = false;
wrdMailMerge.Destination =
Word.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToNewDocument;
wrdMailMerge.Execute(ref oFalse);

At this point in time, I have the merged document open in Word. I
think Word has already named the file according to its naming
conventions...
Now, I need to save the merged file in a specific location and with a
specific name.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am writing this in C#.

Thank you,

Gavin.

After the merge to a new document, the newly created document should be the
ActiveDocument;whatever the parent object of your wrdMailMerge object should
point to the Mail Merge Main Document which you should be able to close and
discard. This may be complicated a little if there is an Error document.

Hi,

One way you can do it is to handle the MailMergeAfterMerge event. One of
the arguments is the resulting document. You can then do a .SaveAs on that
document and close it when you are done.

I hope this helps,
cj

Thanks a lot for your help. I did the save as and it worked fine.
