If it is a one off thing, just use the Word mail merge feature directly and skip the coding completely. The word mail merge will be quite happy to read the input data directly from your CSV file. So there is not even a need to import it into another format. The one caveat is that the merge really works best if the column names are defined in the first row.
As you do not say which version of word you are using, exact instruction are a little hard to give, so in general I would suggest that you look in word help under the index item "Mail Merge". (In word 97 merge is on the Tools menu under Mail Merge.) Try a couple of quick simple merge documents first to be sure you have the hang of it, it can be a pain when you are learning to fully format your document only to find you have scrambled something and have to start again. The word mail merge is a powerful and easily used tool that will allow you to personalise details, including changing the text of the letter, (Whole paragraphs), to suit various variable values in the data. I have used it to generate mail merges of up to 4 pages and around 3 thousand records at a time without problems. (A huge improvement on the Word Pro merge which appears to choke and die after a few hundred) Matt ------------------------ Yahoo!
