Have you saved the Excel document with any password or encryption?
opens encrypted
Do you mean you just see gobbledygook when you preview, or something else?

I have created a mailing list in Excel, I close it and go to Word, begin
the
mail merge for labels, and the Excel doc. opens encrypted. What am I
doing
wrong? I am following the directions from Help and How to.
Many thanks
