Della,

You are welcome, I need to get a copy ordered. I know I could have used it two years ago when I was doing some heavy Word automation.

>Quite honestly, I'd recommend the Granor/Martin book that Dave mentioned. It explains the object model, and walks through the most commonly used properties and methods, and has lots of example code. See www.hentzenwerke.com. (Thanks for the recommendation, Dave, so I could shamelessly plug my book! <vbg>) Chapter 6 covers the mail merge issue.
