Merging Works Database file
I'm receiving the error message: "Office cannot use Works files that contain
formulas for mail merge. Remove the formula from this file to use it as a data source." But when I attempt to clear any formulas attached to my Works file, there doesn't appear to be any (or any option to delete, based on the help menu in Works). I've been able to merge in the past, but when I transferred these files to a different computer, I no longer can, and instead receive the above error message. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks. |

Merging Works Database file
Hi ?B?Sm9obiBC?=,
I think you need to ask this in a newsgroup specific for WORKS. Word's mailmerge feature is substantially different when it's used as part of Works. Be sure to mention the version of Works on the machine you're using now, and the version on the machine you used before. I'm receiving the error message: "Office cannot use Works files that contain formulas for mail merge. Remove the formula from this file to use it as a data source." But when I attempt to clear any formulas attached to my Works file, there doesn't appear to be any (or any option to delete, based on the help menu in Works). I've been able to merge in the past, but when I transferred these files to a different computer, I no longer can, and instead receive the above error message.
