Mail Merge in Microsoft Word has a problem: it uses absolute path.
Let's say you created a document and database of Mail Merge on Desktop. Just as you move it to your flash drive and try to open it, Word will complain that database is not found etc... You have to specify the database path, which is annoying.

I made a VBS that patches docx file, so it will find its database in its folder. However, if you save the document in Word again, you need to patch it again. :/

Well, actually relative path is something more than this (such as reading a file in a directory located in current directory), but since I can't find a better title and keyword, I use this term anyway. @@
