I would suggest that first you attempt to execute the merge manually from
Word so that you can determine whether it is a Word problem or a Visual C#
.NET problem.

thank you for your answer Doug,

As you said i have tried the "mail merge" facility of Word manually
first.

Now i need a code that uses a template, that have generated, a
datasource and as a result it produces the merged file.

I have found a lot of examples on web, but they don't use an existing
template, they produce their own templates dynamically in code.

I had found some recommendations also about using templates, but they
don't present full sample code.

If you can give some code it will be very beneficial for me.

regards,
