With the new Google Doc update that allows Tabs to help organize larger docs, my company has consolidated project files into a single document, and using the Document Tabs to organize it.

Several of these files are templates we use for mail merging via Autocrat. How can I direct Autocrat to the correct tab within the larger document? (I can choose the file, but it seems I can't choose the tab within it). If it helps, the URL is specific to the document tab, but there doesn't seem to be an option to select a template file via a link.

Thank you for any help you can provide, since the organization of our files isn't under my control!

If I understand correctly, I don't think you can do what you want.  You specify a file to be the template and all of the sheets within the file are copied

Said another way, if the template spreadsheet has five sheets, the output will have five sheets.

I can see the data being multiple sheets in one spreadsheet.  It seems that the template with the merge tags needs to be a separate file for each merge job.
