You shouldn't need to have that folder created. However... one way to create
it is to go through the mail merge steps in Word. In step 3, choose Type a
new list, then click Create. Enter at least one record in the New Address
List dialog, then click Close. Word will automatically create the My Data
Sources folder at this point (if it does not already exist).

A little over a year ago I successfully printed labels from an Excel
database on this machine using Office 2003 Word and Excel under XP SP2. I
put the Excel database in My Data Sources and things went very well after
a few false starts and a lot of help from these NG's.
I have another machine that has Word 2003 and Excel 2003 on it but does
not have a My Sources folded on it. It seems that is the key to success.
What do I have to do to that machine in order to have My Data Sources so
that I can mail merge labels. Just creating a folder by that name doesn't
seem to satisfy.
Thank you very much.
