In my first attempt to use Mail Merge I created a long list of names,
addresses, and telephone numbers in Word. Now I need all the information in a
Excel spreadsheet and I cannot open the Mail Mergre file in Excel. Is there a
method to copy the file created in Mail Merge into Excel?.

Use a Directory type mailmerge main document in which you insert the merge
fields from the original data source into the cells of a one row table.
Execute the merge to a new document and then copy the table which is created
in that document and paste it into Excel.

Hope this helps.

Simply copy the table created in Word and paste it in the Excel file.
