Word Mail Merge - Getting Blank Word Document after Completing Mer

[KathyB]

I have successfully been able to merge from CONTACTS in Outlook to an
existing document within WORD. Everytime I complete the merge I get 2
documents:

1. the existing document I am working with and 2. a "blank new" Word
document.

Can anyone tell me why I am getting this and more importantly, "how do I
stop this from happening? "

Thank you.

This appears to be normal behaviour and concerns the way Outlook opens Word.
When Word opens a blank document is created and then the 'existing word
document' is opened. If you can manage with a restricted field set, you
could merge from Word and the extra document wouldn't be an issue - see
