Hello world!



I'm BRAND spanking new here and to VBA for Word. I am fairly well versed in Excel VBA, but I have run into a situation where I need to automate something via Word and am looking for a little guidance.

I have a document that has a list of names. I need to create a new Word document for each of these names and save the file as that person's name, with only that person on it. So I need the macro to not only create and save the document with that person's name, I need it to delete every other name in the list...in short, 1 person on each document. Where would I begin here? Can this be accomplished in Word or am I going to need to figure out an Excel solution? (which would be pretty simple, but ultimately we'd like to have these documents in Word)

If these documents are to have any content other than just the name, I'd suggest using your list as a mailmerge data source for a letter merge. That will produce a file with one page per entry, separated by Section breaks. You could then use a macro to split the output into separate files. For some examples of that, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...ttachment.html
