individual_merge_letters.htm no longer working for me Kathy 5/18/2007 2:34:00 PM Hi, I am using Microsoft Word 2003. I have used the Individual Merge LEtters Macro with success, but recently it has not been working for me (the choice to create individual letters doesn't come up). I tried redownloading and replacing the macro, but to no success. Any suggestions? -- Kathy

RE: individual_merge_letters.htm no longer working for me C. Cunningham 5/18/2007 5:40:01 PM Hi Kathy, I use Word 2002, so I don't know if the core issue is the same, but I've found the same problem (of the choice to merge to individual documents just not coming up), when I'm using an Excel spreadsheet as the data source, and then checking or unchecking the recipients to narrow down my list. When I use the filters instead to narrow down the list, but keep all recipients checked, the individual merge option always appears.

RE: individual_merge_letters.htm no longer working for me Kathy 5/18/2007 5:49:02 PM Hmmm... maybe that's the issue as I am only selecting a few of the individuals on the sheet. Wonder if there's a fix for this? -- Kathy "C.

RE: individual_merge_letters.htm no longer working for me C. Cunningham 5/18/2007 6:20:01 PM My "fix" has just been to use some sort of criteria in the spreadsheet to filter on... i.e. entering "Need to merge" or "Send Letter" or some other consistent method by which you mark in your Excel spread who to merge to at that particular time. Then, when you open your word merge, use the filters in the Edit Recipients dialog box to narrow down your list based on that criteria. By doing it this way, all the checkboxes remain checked and the merge to individual documents works, but you still only get letters for those that you want. After the merge has completed, go back into the spread and change the "Need to merge" or "Send Letter" criteria to "Done" or something like that so that they don't come up in your next merge batch. ~ Cara "Kathy" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hmmm... maybe that's the issue as I am only selecting a few of the > individuals on the sheet.
