Editing an Excel DataSource
During the Mail Merge Wizard Process I have the option to 'Edit Recipient
List'. Yet when I click that link, the Edit button is dimmed. Why can I use Word's Data Source Edit feature with a Word Data Source but not with an Excel Data Source. Don't tell me Microsoft can't integrate Word and Excel here! |

Editing an Excel DataSource
Hi ?B?U3VlIEh1Z2hlcw==?=,
During the Mail Merge Wizard Process I have the option to 'Edit Recipient List'. Yet when I click that link, the Edit button is dimmed. Why can I use Word's Data Source Edit feature with a Word Data Source but not with an Excel Data Source. Don't tell me Microsoft can't integrate Word and Excel here! Word has always only been able to "edit" its own, native data source. Through Word 2000 this was a Word table. From Word 2002 on it's been a special type of *.mdb file. So, no, Word can't edit other files or file formats within the mail merge feature.
