DDE Command Hang-up
For years I have been using Word programs (Office 2000 series) to access
Excel name and address data files to produce letters, mailing labels, etc. Now, 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. Nor can I create a new merge document in Word, because the program hangs up when attempting to access the Excel name and address file. What has happened? Thanks in advance. Gordon Biggar Houston, Texas P.S. I tried the Word New Users forum on this topic without success. |

DDE Command Hang-up
I forgot to mention that I uninstalled Office 2000, and then reinstalled it
again. Same problem with the DDE message. GGB "G.G. Biggar, Jr." wrote in message ...
