How do I parse a merged document into multiple files? That is, after the
mail merge is completed, I want each recipient parsed or extracted from the
Word document and inserted into a new document. For example, where I have a
merged document with 10 recipients, I want Joe Smith's letter placed into a
new document without the other 9 recipients and then I want to do the same
for the remaining 9 documents. Adobe Acrobat has an option for creating a
single PDF from multiple documents - I won’t to do the opposite. Microsoft
ha an article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299837 which details a
hack job for what I want to do. But, it won’t work for me because it is too
labor intensive for our firm and limited resources.

Graham, sorry, just to add, this is great. The time taken to do this is
really appreciated by less advanced users of Microsoft. Cheers, Dan

Graham,
I don't get the pop-up box asking if I want separate documents. What do I do
then?

Are you executing the merge to a new document? Did you start Word from the
Start menu and not by double clicking on a document on the desktop or in
Windows Explorer? Do you have Word set to be the e-mail editor in Outlook?
If so, you need to start Word prior to starting Outlook.
