Default Merging Works Database file

Hi ?B?Sm9obiBC?=,

I think you need to ask this in a newsgroup specific for WORKS. Word's mailmerge
feature is substantially different when it's used as part of Works. Be sure to
mention the version of Works on the machine you're using now, and the version on
the machine you used before.

I'm receiving the error message: "Office cannot use Works files that contain
formulas for mail merge. Remove the formula from this file to use it as a
data source." But when I attempt to clear any formulas attached to my Works
file, there doesn't appear to be any (or any option to delete, based on the
help menu in Works). I've been able to merge in the past, but when I
transferred these files to a different computer, I no longer can, and instead
receive the above error message.
