I want to create a new document file for each record in the merge data source.
Is this possble? When I merge to a new document is creates a multiple page
form letter for each record. This is not useful to me. I need each one to be
a seperate .doc file.
Help if possible.

Thanks in advance,
Rick

If you are not particular about the file names given to each document, then
use:

Sub splitter()

' splitter Macro

' Macro created by Doug Robbins to save each letter created by a mailmerge
as a separate file.

Dim i As Long, Source as Document, Target as Document, Letter as Range
Set Source = ActiveDocument
For i = 1 to Source.Sections.Count
   Set Letter = Source.Sections(i).Range
   Letter.End=Letter.End-1
   Set Target = Documents.Add
   Target.Range=Letter
   Target.SaveAs FileName:="Letter" & i
   Target.Close
Next i

End Sub

If you want to save each document with a specific filename that comes from
the data source, then here's a method that I have used that involves
creating a separate catalog type mailmerge maindocument which creates a word
document containing a table in each row of which would be your data from the
database that you
want to use as the filename.

You first execute that mailmerge, then save that file and close it.  Then
execute the mailmerge that you want to create the separate files from and
with the result of that on the screen, run a macro containing the following
code
and when the File open dialog appears, select the file containing the table
created by the first mailmerge

' Throw Away Macro created by Doug Robbins
'
Dim Source As Document, oblist As Document, DocName As Range, DocumentName
As String
Dim i As Long, doctext As Range, target As Document
Set Source = ActiveDocument
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
   .Show
End With
Set oblist = ActiveDocument
Counter = 1
For i = 1 To oblist.Tables(1).Rows.Count
   Set DocName = oblist.Tables(1).Cell(i, 1).Range
   DocName.End = DocName.End - 1

   'Change the path in the following command to suit where you want to save
the documents.
   DocumentName = "I:\WorkArea\Documentum\" & DocName.Text
   Set doctext = Source.Sections(i).Range
   doctext.End = doctext.End - 1
   Set target = Documents.Add
   target.Range.FormattedText = doctext
   target.SaveAs FileName:=DocumentName
   target.Close
Next i
