    Create Personalized Files with Mail Merge

    I have been following tutorial to create personalized files within mail merge but for some reason it is not working. I get a message that styles have not been applied but I did use heading 1 in the merge letter but when I edit individual documents, choose outline view and select all and click on show document and create the new document I created only has Heading 1 applied to the top record, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I will attach both the original and new document for review for reference. I have followed the steps in order. I am having difficulty finding details tutorials for this. If anyone is able to identify what I am doing wrong I would appreiate any assistance. I am also very interested in any tutorials or courses on this and the Mail Merge Toolkit Add In

    I wish Graham or Greg would step out of the shadows for this thread. It'd be right up their alley.

    I used the Mail Merge Wizard and your Letter.docx

    I had to create a maiing list with 6 names, etc. since you did not attach one

    At the end I get a document for the six names

    There's no Heading 1 anywhere in your files so I didn't see where that style is coming from

    You primary merge letter has no Heading 1.
    See:
    - Individual merge letters by Graham Mayor, MVP
    - Mail merge with Word 2007-2019 (365) by Graham Mayor, MVP
    - Master Documents "Feature" in Microsoft Word

    This question is not really about vba and would be better posted at Mail Merge Forum. If you do, though, include a link to this thread there and to the new post here. Choose one spot for answers.

    We used to offer assistance in all sorts areas, not just VBA. There's been no change in the policy from Management, therefore if people want assistance in Office suite programs, then we need to encourage them to feel free to post here.
