Use just Word? or Word/Excel?
Using Word 2003, Windows 2000 Professional. Someone set up a main document
(letter) in Word and a data file in Excel. The data file changes each time (different notices to different people). Is there any benefit to having both files in Word instead of one in each - or isn't there any difference. |

It could be argued that Word is happiest with its merge data stored in a
Word table; but it will quite happily merge from a variety of formats including Excel, so provided you don't have any odd formatting issues related to your Excel data source, I would leave it as it stands. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org dp wrote: Using Word 2003, Windows 2000 Professional.
