Mail Merge Freeze
When I browse for a data source (like an Excel file with addresses) Mail
Merge freezes on my computer. It also does this if I enter addresses manually and then continue to the next step in the Mail Merge Wizard. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office. Also, my data source is not that large. What could be the cause? |

Mail Merge Freeze
A number of people have reported similar problems recently. If you apply
Windows/Office updates automatically or regularly, could you be suffering from the following problem? I quote Cindy Meister: "There are massive problems with the most recent set of updates. There's a KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165) describing a workaround for some of the problems. But other people are finding they need to uninstall the updates, especially MSO06-015." If it isn't that, which version of Word are you using? Peter Jamieson "Aaron" wrote in message ...

Mail Merge Freeze
Aaron:
I think if you try Office software you will find the browse feature to drill down through folders and files for Excel and Word will also freeze. In additon if you use Windows Explorer it will also not display all the drives on your PC and will only let you click on a folder and see the contents in the right Window. I am going to try and see if the solutions in the first response to your post will help fix the problem.
