Default mail merge cannot open

Word(office) 2k, winxp.

Followed instructions @
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm
and converted one of 7 pages as a test. It worked fine.
Went ahead and coverted other 6 pages and started to merge and now I get
following error msg.
"Word cannot open main labels.doc as a data or header source because it is a
mail merge main doc."

Saved table with 4 column headers, see below for example.

First Name
Last Name
Address
City, State, Zip

xxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
232 xxxxxx Dr.
xxxxxx, MO xxxxx

xxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2400 xxxx Dr.
xxxxxxxxxx, IL xxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
60 xxxxxxxxxxxxx Dr.
xxxxxx, CA xxxxx

Mr. & Mrs. xxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
20 xxxxxxxxxxx Ave.
xxxxxxxx, TX xxxxxx

xxxxxxxxx
4021 xxxxxxxx Dr.

Not sure what I have done wrong.
