Split the Mail Merge button is missing

Question

Hello,

I believe I have a new version of Word (365) and I was possibly using a different version of Word. When doing a mail merge, I used to be able to hit "Split the Mail Merge" which would then give me the option to save each document separately instead of in one document. That button is no longer there and I am unsure how to do this. I have tried going to outline view and create the documents from there, but it only saves it as one big document. I think this is because my original document has some tables on it and is 4 pages. The process I used to do was to select mail merge, select an existing data source, put my fields where necessary, and then select "Split the Mail Merge" then I would use the Mail Merge ToolKit which allows me to send an email with the individual documents attached. The only thing I can no longer do is select the "Split the Mail Merge." Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

This is not something that has ever been built into Word. You must have had an Add-In that gave you this capability.

That must be it! It was already on my work computer, so I was unsure if it was an add-in. Thank you so much for your help! The first link you provided is the one that I need to install. You are awesome!
