Hi there,
We have an excel spreadsheet where the person adds a row at a time of data and they are looking for a macro that will open the word document and run the mail merge for that data only. I've got the macro working that will run a mail merge but it runs it for all the data. Is it possible to add in the criteria of the selected row of data? Note that the code is what i've picked up online and modified for my files so if it needs modifying at all, please let me know. Thanks! Brenda

Code:
Sub RunMailMerge()

    Dim wdOutputName, wdInputName As String
    wdOutputName = "c:\users\bbrown\desktop\testresult.docx"
    wdInputName = "c:\users\bbrown\desktop\template.docx"


    ' open the mail merge layout file
    Dim wdDoc As Object
    Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdInputName, "Word.document")
    wdDoc.Application.Visible = True


    With wdDoc.MailMerge
         .MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters
         .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
         .SuppressBlankLines = True
         .Execute Pause:=False
    End With


    ' show and save output file
    wdDoc.Application.Visible = True
    wdDoc.Application.ActiveDocument.SaveAs wdOutputName


    ' cleanup
    wdDoc.Close SaveChanges:=False
    Set wdDoc = Nothing


End Sub
