my Word database is now a merge main document
I have a large database that is built in Word - I have used it to create many
catalog reports and labels - I tried to run one today and it tells me that it can't find my database because it is saved as a mail merge main document. How did this happen and what do I do to fix it?? Thanks |

Hi ?B?c3RhbXBpbmphbg==?=,
I have a large database that is built in Word - I have used it to create many catalog reports and labels - I tried to run one today and it tells me that it can't find my database because it is saved as a mail merge main document. How did this happen and what do I do to fix it?? Can't tell you how it happened, since I wasn't looking over your shoulder :-) But you should be able to fix it easily enough: - Open the database (I assume it's a Word doc with a table) - Tools/Mail Merge (I assume this is Word 97 or 2000) - In the first step of the mail merge helper, choose "Revert to normal Word document" - Save and close Now try linking up to it in a mail merge again.
