Why can't I have my excel file and mailmerge document open togethe
I've been producing a directory using Word and a named range in an Excel
worksheet for many years without any real problems. Now I've upgraded to Office2007, it seems I can't open my mailmerge 'master document' in Word unless I first close the file where the data exists in Excel. If both programs are open at the same time, Word produces an error to say that the database engine can't find the (named range) object. Then, when I've completed the merge, I have to close Word, otherwise when I try and open the file in Excel again, I get an error message to say the file format or extension is not valid. It's a pain keep having to close one or the other down and I'm pretty sure I didn't have to do so in earlier versions of Office. Am I missing something? |
