We are using Mail Merge with an Excel data source. We only have one
worksheet in our Excel file. Right after we choose the data source, a
dialog
box comes up with the title 'Select Table' and the box contains the name
of
the worksheet (with a dollar sign in front of it. How do we stop this
dialog
box from showing up?
