I have a mail merge document (Word 97) and would like to run a macro on completeion of the mail merge. I'm looking for help with coding to make this happen.

Thanks,
Brian
 
Hi ohmbru.

Why not just include the mailmerge process in the macro in the first place? Then, it should run your merge AND the macro. Am I making sense? dreamboat@nni.com

Yes, that makes sense. This is the first time dealing with with Word macros and I wasn't sure about them. It seemed to wrk fine. Now I need to see about getting a button on the toolbar to run it.

Thanks,
Brian
 
Right click on blank portion of toolbar, Customize/Commands/Macros and drag the macro to the toolbar. If you want to shorten the name, right click on the button and type new name in "name" window.
