It might be simpler to convert text to table in Word?

But should we be encouraging spammers?

I would either open the mailing list using FileOpen, then save it
using FileSave, before making any changes, or, use the list as is
and attach it to a Directory type mailmerge main document in which
you insert the field names in to the cells of a one row table. Then
when you execute that merge to a new document, that document will
contain a table with a row of data for each record in the data
source. You can then insert a row at the top of the table into which
you insert the field names and made the changes in that document.

Word 2007. It is a mailing list of names and address I buy in .txt
file type
to send advertising letters out for our business. When I receive the
mailing
list by email I save it to my computer then in Word I select mailing
then I
select the mailing list and edit it after finishing editing and
closing that
is when I get the message that Microsoft Word has stopped working and
needs
to close. I appreciate your help, Thank you, Margie

What version of Word? What type of mailing List is it? That is,
how was it
created in the first place?
