Default Merging and saving to folder - assistance

Hi all, I have a new job and because i'm new need to be able to work a little more effectively as our very lovely administrator prioritises others over me. We're an expanding team and need another admin asst.



My problem is this.
We do massive mail outs
We keep records of the letters in a folder labeled based on the town they are going to and the letters are in word doc format with street name and then house number
This means that the admin have to type out each individually and this is time consuming.
I cannot change the current system

What I need to be able to do is to mail merge all of my addresses and also save individual letters for each address in word format with the saved file entitled by street name and then house number

is there a way to do this and choose the folder they will be saved to when mail merging??
Or, is there a separate sequence I can use to do this before prinitng??

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help

Hi EvilEdna,

That's a bizarre filing system you're using! Do you actually have the address data stored anywhere that it can be used for a mailmerge? If so, you may be able to use the Individual Merge Letters addin available at: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm
Even though this might not save the files to the individual folders, it should at least be able to give you files with usable names that you can then move to those folders.
