Hi nancy,
When you do a mailmerge with Word, all the merged records go into one file - there is no way to change this. There are various ways
to split the output into a separate file for each record (see, for example, the code below from fellow MVP Doug Robbins, which will
alow the printer to staple each letter (if it supports that)), but you're still going to have the same number of pages to print
overall.
Sub SplitMergeLetterToPrinter()
' splitter Macro
' Macro created 16-08-98 by Doug Robbins to print each letter created by a
' mailmerge as a separate file.
'
Letters = ActiveDocument.Sections.Count
counter = 1
While counter < Letters
ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False, Range:=wdPrintFromTo, _
From:="s" & format(counter), To:="s" & format(counter)
counter = counter + 1
Wend
End Sub
In case you've never used a macro before, see:
