hi,

I Created one master data in excel which I already link to word file through mailmerged. Now I want to Open that document through excel macro. I created following but it's not working as I required (it open only 1 merged record, I want all records should shown in file when I run macro to open that file) .

Sub marco1()
Dim app As Object
Set app = CreateObject("Word.Application")
app.Documents.Open ("\\Sachin\c\CERTIFICATE\Loan from Bank.doc")
app.Application.DisplayAlerts = None
Visible = True


End Sub

Thanks in advanced.

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
My apologies. But really, is there anything I can do to avoid the duplicate issue?
Well, if you'd left those parts of the code alone, you wouldn't have any duplicates. What you've failed to understand is that the mailmerge main document is used to produce the output document. As written by me, the code closes the mailmerge main document once it has produced the output document; your modifications prevent the output document's production and instead leaves behind the mailmerge main document with all the mergefields still in place - and those fields won't retain their values unless you lock or unlink them - which destroys the document's utility for future merges.
