==Obtaining the File ID / Folder ID==
Once the Word document has been uploaded, you must obtain the file ID.

<br>The folder ID is the resourceID. For example, if the URL is
<pre>grants.smartsimplebk.us/s_editresource.jsp?resourceid=94616</pre>
then the Folder ID is 94616
==File ID versus Folder ID==
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.
