Here's a conceptual question. I have a Word mail merge, with a few
dozen documents. There's a certain field, let's call in the Employee
field, on each page. These documents are sorted in order of this
field. What I'd like to do is save off each group of pages into its
own Word document under that field. So if it's Employee: Joe Schmoe on
the first five pages I'd want to save off just those pages and name
the file "Joe Schmoe.Doc" and so on.
The mail merge itself is pretty much hard-coded into a big group of
documents, so that's my basis. Any suggestions about what Ruby modules
and methods I'd start out delving into? I'm thinking win32ole of
course, but have a good-sized task ahead of me I have to deliver in
relatively short order :-/
