Default WORD could not establish DDE connection to EXCEL to complete the t

I am attempting a WORD merge using an EXCEL file as the data file; the data
file is quite large -- over 7500 rows / records. Each time I try to specify
the EXCEL file as the data file, I get the above-noted error message. Is
there any way to overcome this problem. I'm only assuming it has to do with
the size of the EXCEL file but am not sure.
