Not enough memory to convert Excel in mail merge
I am trying to merge an Excel data file into Word and I keep getting the
message that it can't do this because there is not enough memory or disk space. How much memory is needed? I have 85 GB available from a capacity of 232 GB on an iMac G5 with OSX. The word document is 28 KB and the Excel data file is 2.7 MB. I have restarted my computer. There are no other applications open. I have moved the worksheet into a new workbook all by itself. I don't know what to do next. Any help will be greatly appreciated. It took a long time to assemble the data and I was looking forward to an easy merge. |

Not enough memory to convert Excel in mail merge
I'm not very familiar with Mac versions of Office but...
1. Which version of Word/Excel? 2. What sort of "shape" of content does your Excel workbook have (e.g. 1000s of rows with 10s of columns?) Does it have any data outside the main block? If so, if you copy /paste the main block into a new workbook and merge from that, is there an improvement? 3. As an immediate workaround, you may be able to copy/paste your Excel data into Word and use that as your data source. Peter Jamieson "mardicar" wrote in message ...
