Mail Merge from Access
I am comfortable with creating a full mail merge from access but would like to know how/if its possible to mail merge out into individual documents
RE: Mail Merge from Access
Hi Charlotte, thanks for your query. There's no one-click function to do this but by using the Master & sub-document feature in Word it is possible to separate the individual documents. Have a look here:

Note the code option included in the link which I would definitely use if you're going to attempt the merge more than once. Let me know if you need help getting the code to work. Here are two further links to add-ins which can help automate all this:
