Default Problem Saving a Merged Document in Word 2003

I have been successfully using a Mail Merge document and SOurce file in WOrd
2000. WHen we moved to 2003, the Save as.. which I use to keep the merged
doument with its customised data, will not save the new data. It reverts to
the previous data thius I lose all the merged information!
Any suggestions please?

Default Problem Saving a Merged Document in Word 2003

It sounds like you have not actually executed the merge to a new document,
but are just saving the mailmerge main document with a preview of the
results.

Best thing to do is enable the Mail Merge toolbar by selecting Toolbars from
the View menu and checking the Mail Merge item. On the right hand end of
that toolbar is a button to execute the merge to a new document. Do that
and then save the new document.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
