Hello All,
I am using Office 2000 and have a workbook named Master.xls with Sheet1
having 100+ columns of data running several hundred rows down.

A1, B1, C1....... are headers like Name, LastName, Address1,
Address2............and so on

I want to use Master.xls for generating about 20+ mail merge letters in MS
Word. I have designed the Mail Merge file in Word with all the required
fields...

I wish to know how is it possible for me to generate the Mail Merge letters
in MS Word while I am working on the Master.xls file.

1) Do I need to close the Master.xls file and then generate each and every
letter in Word?
2) Do I need to make 20 odd Command Buttons in Master.xls and by clicking
the appropriate button the corresponding Mail Merge letter will be generated
(I am not sure whether this is possible while Master.xls is open!)
3) Do I need to extract the relevant data from Master.xls file to 20+
different Worksheet and then create Mail Merge accordingly..
I am totally confused how to go about this problem.

Any suggestions, lead in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Rashid
