I have Word 2003. I did a mail merge with an Excel data source and had to
use the DDE method. I also selected from my Word Options to Confirm
Conversion after Open. So now I get a Convert File msgbox each time I
open a
Word document. So do I have to turn it off and when I do the mail merge
with
the Excel file, enable it again?
