Macro after merge

[Michelle]

Is there a way to make a macro automatically run after a merge is complete?

You posted a duplicate question in the MailMerge newsgroup. I hope anyone
responding will do so there.

In the Microsoft Word newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate
messages to multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum
(unusual) please post a single message with both forums in the header of
that single message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay
together, (2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is
used on the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that
appear in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you
are asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all
beginners once and the only way to learn is to try. (BTW, a number of the
Microsoft newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period.
Check the FAQ.)

Take a look on the MVP FAQ website under "getting help" for more reasons ase
well as other suggestions for getting answers more easily and quickly. <URL:

I'm not sure which version of Microsoft Word you are using, but if it's a
recent version (post 2002) you can use the MailMergeAfterMerge event. Read
the following knowledge base article for more info on using the event.

Point taken. Will do in future. Thanks.

Thanks so much for responding.

I read the article and I might as well have been reading Greek.

I am not a programmer and was hoping for something simpler. I hate to bring
up the comparison, but in WordPerfect, you simply give a "nest macro" command.
