Save each individual merged document as its own file

Thanks for responding! My main merge document does have a field called "Report_Name," as does the Excel document to be merged with.

I should point out that "Report_Name" occurs as the title of each document, plus a field in the document body with "Report_Name"; in other words, two times in each report.

Also, the "Report_Name" that occurs in the body itself is within a table. There are two tables in each report.

Would any of the two points mentioned above have anything to do with the problem?

Thanks again!

Are you sure the field in the data source is named 'Report_Name' and not 'Report Name'? The mergefield name isn't relevant here, as mergefields substitute underscores for spaces.

The number of times the field appears in the mailmerge main document is of no consequence.
