Can i split a mail merge into separate documents

Yes, you can split a mail merge into separate documents. Here are a few ways to do it:

Method 1: Using Microsoft Word's built-in feature

  1. In your mail merge document, go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on "Finish & Merge" and then select "Edit Individual Documents".
  3. In the "Merge to Document" dialog box, select a location to save the merged documents.
  4. Click "OK" to start the merge process.
  5. Word will create a separate document for each record in your data source.

Method 2: Using a macro

You can use a macro to automate the process of splitting the mail merge into separate documents. Here's an example VBA code you can use:

Sub SplitMailMerge()
    Dim doc As Document
    Dim data As Recordset
    Dim i As Integer

    ' Set the data source
    Set data = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("YourData")

    ' Loop through each record in the data source
    For i = 0 To data.RecordCount - 1
        ' Create a new document for each record
        Set doc = Documents.Add

        ' Merge the data into the new document
        doc.MailMerge.OpenRecordset data

        ' Save the document
        doc.SaveAs "C:\Path\To\Document" & i + 1 & ".docx"

        ' Close the document
        doc.Close

    Next i

    ' Clean up
    data.Close
    Set data = Nothing
    Set doc = Nothing
End Sub

Method 3: Using a third-party add-in

There are several third-party add-ins available that can help you split a mail merge into separate documents. For example, you can use the "Mail Merge Manager" add-in, which allows you to split a mail merge into separate documents and save them to a folder.

I hope these methods help you split your mail merge into separate documents!
