Re: Using Mail-Merge in Word 2010

Simple, I set the file type to save everything as .doc and .xls files
instead of the XML equivalents, then just open the files up. I also use
(prepare for some folks to fall over in fits of apoplexy around here when I
type this) use a classic menu program so I don't have to fool with the
stupid ribbon, and I run the ribbon in virtual mode in Jaws. I know other
folks have problems with this, but it have none, so it works fine for me.

I'd open it up and take a look at what's in your data source. ThatI run things in compatibility mode a lot, as I sometimes trade files2007
with folks that haven't made the switch to 2007 or later, and Wordstill reads that older Excel file with no problems.spreadsheet.-----Original Message-----

Yes. In fact, that's where I'm having my problem. The merge
document will not connect with the data source. The data source,
though, was prepared using Word XP, which is a much earlier version
of Word, and I am wondering if this might be part of the reason why
the connection is not being made.

I'm not sure about 2010, as I use 2007 and it may have changed. I
edit my data source in Excel, because it's actually an ExcelWordI've noticed that mail merge requires some very specific steps, and
they're all fairly logical, but I haven't used it in about four
months so I'd need to review the process to advise you. And I've
noticed that it has a much harder time (at least 2007 does) in
keeping the data association with the document.-----Original Message-----

Dear Listers:

After I upgraded to Word 2010 I discovered that the data source is
still there, but for some reason I can't use the mail-merge wizardway I used to do when I used Word XP. In XP, after I had selected2010
my data source and the list of names and addresses would pop up, I
would just tab once and there would be a "select all," option. In
Wordthis option is not there. When I tab once after the list of names
appear, it is telling me that the number of items selected istoDo any of you know how to go about selecting the people you wantNicole, how do you do that? How do you run things in compatibilityuse in your merge using Word 2010?
If so, how do you do it? Do any of you know how to edit your list
of recipients using Word 2010? If so, how do you do it?
Thanks for any help you can give.
