For years I have been using Word programs (Office 2000 series) to access
Excel data files (e.g., names and addresses) to produce letters, mailing
labels, etc. When executing a Word merge program, I am all of a sudden
receiving the message, "Waiting for Microsoft Excel to Accept DDE Commands."
The computer then hangs up, as if in a loop. This is true for all my Word
merge programs.

What happened?

Thanks in advance.
