    <p>I've tried looking for this on here and can't see an answer so thought I'd ask, apologies if this is a duplicate. </p> <p>I'm using a mail merge to fill in a table in Word 2010. This created hundreds of pages of the same table but with different data in each one. I then use a Macro to split the word document into individual documents per page. My knowledge of Macros is <strong>very</strong> limited, but I've got it working, and I know how to amend the name if I just wanted a standard numbered thing, but what I want is for it to use one of the fields of the table as the name, so they'll all have their identifying number as their file name. </p> <p>This is the code I've got for the macro: </p> <pre><code>Sub BreakOnPage() ' Used to set criteria for moving through the document by page. Application.Browser.Target = wdBrowsePage For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Number of Pages") 'Select and copy the text to the clipboard. ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy ' Open new document to paste the content of the clipboard into. Documents.Add Selection.Paste ' Removes the break that is copied at the end of the page, if any. Selection.TypeBackspace ChangeFileOpenDirectory "F:\MyWork" DocNum = DocNum + 1 ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="test_" &amp; DocNum &amp; ".doc" ActiveDocument.Close ' Move the selection to the next page in the document. Application.Browser.Next Next i ActiveDocument.Close savechanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub </code></pre> <p>But I have no idea how to make it pick up the field in the document. Any help would be very much appreciated!</p> <p>Also, when this splits it into individual documents it seems to add a blank page to the bottom of it, so when I open one of the files I have my table but then a blank page under that, and I can't figure out how to get rid of that either, so tips on that would be a huge help too.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
