Default Merging Word 2003 mail merge doc with Word 2003 table in Word 2007

Based on the discussion in the thread at :

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...1e5aefd3a1e923

it appears that it may be something to do with the length of the path to the
data source. Try relocating the data source so that the path is as short
as possible and see if the problem persists.

We have aWord2003 mail merge document which we merge with data in aWord

It worked fine when we were in Office 2003, but now that we have upgraded
to
Office 2007, we get an error saying
"ED798FBB is a mail merge document. Wordcannot find its data source,
H:/xxx.doc" and gives us the option to select the "Find Data Source"
button.
When we browse for the data source, it comes up with the same message
"ED798FBB is a mail merge document. Wordcannot find its data source,
H:/xxx.doc". (Don't know what the EDB798FBB refers to as it is not the
name
of the document).

We have experienced this same problem with a different document before.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Why not try Advanced Word Repair at http://www.datanumen.com/awr/ ?
It recovers several important Word documents for me and is really
helpful!
