Hi ?B?Q2hyaXMgU2ltbW9ucw==?=,
Thanks for responding, Cindy. I'm using Office 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2
If you hold CTRL while starting Word, then try connecting to the Excel for a mail
merge (don't do any label stuff yet, just test getting a connection), does that
work?
If it does, how about trying to set up a label sheet?
If this also works, then my guess is you have a damaged Normal.dot template. Close
Word, find Normal.dot on your system and rename it to NormalOLD.dot. Start Word
again (without holding CTRL) and test once more.
I have an Excel spreadsheet with a list of names and addresses that I need to
mailmerge to labels in Word. I selected my labels from Avery A4 - L7160
browsed to my spreadsheet, double clicked on it and Word disappeared from my
screen. I have tried doing a re-install of Office Pro, but the same thing
happened.
