Default Can't open Excel 2007 data source from Word 2003 document

Hi,
I have Office 2003 with Office 2007 Compatibility Pack installed. For file
sharing needs with other people I must use Office 2007 format.
I created an Excel 2007 workbook and wanted to use it for mail merge from a
Word 2007 document. But Word does not allow me to select a Excel 2007 file
(.xlsx) as a data source for the mail merge. When I choose All Files (*.*)
type I can see and select the Excel 2007 file but I get a file conversion
problem an Word doesn't seem to be able to read the excel doc correctly.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.
