If you
- close Word
- rename Normal.dot to NormalOLD.dot
- start Word
- set up a test merge, with the MM Helper, in the new document you get

Does this merge work as you'd expect?

Cindy, Microsoft Word was not open when I tried to rename the file.
However, I got an error message saying that the program was running. Just to
make sure nothing was running in the background, I opened Word and then
closed it, but I got the same error message when trying to rename the file.
I was trying to rename it through My Computer.

thanks for your help!
