Hi All,

Scenario:

1.) Have Word mail merge document and Excel spreadsheet.

2.) The mail merge document is a standard letter with about 5 or 6 merge
fields from the Excel spreadsheet. See sample below.

"Dear «First_Name» «Last_Name», «Degree»:

«Fax»



Thank you for registering for the dinner meeting...blah blah blah. "

3.) Word merges the document beautifully...have no problems with this at all
except for the fact that Word merges the document as one long, consecutive
document.

4.) Need to find a way to have Word recognize each page as an individual
document and give me the ability to fax each individual their personalized
page (with some efficiency).

Looking for a macro, vb code or even fax software that help automate these
tasks.

Please let me know if you can direct me to any resources.

Thanks in advance!! Muchas gracias!!
 
You posted in a fax group. I don't see any fax issues here. Did you try one
of Word's mail merge groups?
 
To get this to work, you have to be using
a. a Word/Windows/Outlook combination that supports fax merges
b. if you're using Win2k or WinXP, have the Windows fax service installed
and set up in your Outlook profile (Mail profile)
c. be using exactly the correct format for your fax numbers

In my experience, getting this all correct is not at all easy, but for
configuration of fax and Outlook there are useful articles and pointers to
third party packages at
