Hi All,
I'm not an expert on VBA so I found this could this code online to split a word mail merge document & assign the filename based on a merge field name. It works perfectly except it adds extra lines of space in the merged documents. A 2 page document is now 5 pages because of the extra lines of space. Why is this happening? What change needs to happen to the code? Many Thanks!
Sub SplitMergeLetter()
Dim sName As String
Dim docName As String
Dim Letters As String
Dim Counter As Long
Dim oDoc As Document
Dim oNewDoc As Document
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
oDoc.Save
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
Letters = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber)
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Counter = 1
While Counter < Letters
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Selection
.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
End With
sName = Selection
docName = "C:\Letter4\" & sName & ".doc"
oDoc.Sections.First.Range.Cut
Set oNewDoc = Documents.Add
'Documents are based on the Normal template
'To use an alternative template follow the link.
With Selection
.Paste
.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
.Delete
End With
oNewDoc.SaveAs FileName:=docName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False
ActiveWindow.Close
Counter = Counter + 1
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Wend
oDoc.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
End Sub
