MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2006Mail Merge Creates Documents for Each Record instead of Pages
What is wrong when during a mail merge, documents are created for each of the records instead of pages? I have not experienced this problem, but a friend of mine has. She e-mailed me her source document, and it looks OK. Could something be in her data document that is causing this? Can you spell out what you mean by "documents"? Do you mean that a. multiple pages are printed for each record in the data source, or b. that she is merging to a new document, and instead of ending up with a single new ouptput document open in Word, she ends up with multiple documents saved on disk or c. something else? If it is (a), it usually means that there are section/page breaks in the mail merge main document, or that a double-page/double-sided layout is set up in File|Page Setup If it is (b), it sounds as some VBA code or an addin is affecting what happens - you could usefully compare what is in Tools|Templates and Add-ins on your machine and her machine.

No, I don't, but if multiple documents are being saved to disk then either there is an add-in, or some VBA code is running, and that code would have to be in the document itself, or in the template to which it is attached, or in normal.dot.

My friend is in another state so I don't know if we will get this resolved or not. > > She said she is getting multiple documents.
