Default Creating Subdocuments

I have a mail merge I run to create over 200 forms. I then do View, Outline, Ctrl A, Show Documents and then Create, Collapse Subdocuments and then save and I have all the forms separated into individual documents that I can then send out.



Several years ago, I was upgraded to the 2016 version of Word and since that time, it will not separate the forms. I do the same process and it does not work. I have access to the old software on an old machine and it works there but that machine is now almost dead and I need it to work on my laptop.

Suggestions of what the problem is?

See Split Merged Output to Separate Documents or, better still, Send Mailmerge Output to Individual Files in the Mailmerge Tips and Tricks 'Sticky' thread at the top of this forum:
