The file ID or Folder ID that you have taken note of will be used in the third step, [[Custom Field Type: Special - MS Word Merge|creating the Special - MS Word Merge custom field]] that maps the SmartSimple fields you wish to merge to the Word template.
 
* If you specify the Folder ID in the Word Merge field, all documents in the folder will be displayed in a combo-box upon initiating the Word merge. The user can select the document that he/she wishes to create. This is useful if you have several different versions of a document to be generated from the same underlying data
 
* If you specify the File ID in the Word Merge field, that specific document will be used as the template for the Word merge.
