1. Which version of Word?
2. What is the data source?
3. Can you get merge to work with /any/ data source? e.g. all you need
to test is a Word document containing a small table with 2 columns and
2-3 rows in a Word with the column names in row 1.
4. In some cases if the data source is actually an application (e.g.
Access) the application may pop up a dialog box that you do not see
because it is behind the main document window. If you alt-tab you may
see it and be able to respond.
5. Otherwise, I think you should consider using check and repair (or the
Office 2007 equivalent) and/or deleting your Word data key (there's
info. about that at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541 . FWIW doing
the check/repair does not check or delete the data key (Personally, I
tend actually to delete the data key first, even though I lose some
settings info. but my Word usage is probably quite atypical.)
