Default Word 2007 mail merge and outlook

I'll have another look at my web page.

As for the reinstallation of Office, this will not make any more difference
than simply repairing it from the original installation disc. A normal
re-install will not touch your configuration files.

You could checkout http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm
then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm but I have a
nasty feeling that the problem may be associated with Windows Vista, which,
as I said in another thread, I don't use.

Thanks, Graham. i was able to mail merge in Outlook though the notes
you have on 2007 are not the way it went! (ie it goes to
initializing Word 2007 and a blank document after hitting "OK" in
mail merge contacts on page 2 then nothing else maps). You also need
to have the cursor ON the actual subfolder (i only did this on a
subfolder which was my need-not sure how it works if you need all
folders and subfolders merged, God help us). HOWEVER, I do need to
know why this mail merge isn't working directly FROM Word 2007---is
something wrong? I have a tech coming by tomorrow and he is prob
going to take drastic steps like taking off the Microsoft software
and resinstalling it. I know this will screw up all the "views" and
niceties it took me days to get the way i want and i want nothing
more than to tell him that isn't needed. Everything else seems to be
working well.
ANY INSIGHT? I'm desperate here. Thanks for helping.
