I don't like Word's Mail Merge feature because I don't feel I have 
the control I want, which I feel that I have with the bookmark 
merge.

I also haven't figured out how to do a 1-M merge into Word yet 
(such as a sales invoice 1 customer record with many items 
purchased). I think it has something to do with a catalog merge, but 
I'm not sure.

That's why I use automation for my merges.
