You'll need the macro!

Doug,
Looks like you have a solution I've been looking for.

When you say "execute the mail merge" I'm assuming you mean to click
the "merge to e-mail icon". When I do that the "merge to" dialogue box
opens. When I attempt to run the Macro nothing happens.

If I run the macro with the source document open, a "save as" dialogue
opens rather than an "open file" dialogue box that would enable me to
point to the Directory type merge document.

I'm thinking I'm not understanding what "execute the mail merge"
means.

Appreciate any coaching you can provide a neophyte.

No, at no time in this procedure do you merge to email. In both cases, when
using the catalog or directory type main document and then the document that
you want to email, you execute the merge to a new document. I believe that
if you read the article carefully, it says that.
