word 2003 hangs during merge to excel spreadsheet
Hi Miss,
Could be file corruption in either word or Excel, I suppose. Is everyone trying this with the same Word document? If one user holds Ctrl on their machine, starts Word and sets up a new mail merge document (as a test) to the Excel database, does that execute correctly? i have a few users in a company that we are supporting that are attemtping to merge an excel spreadsheet with a word document for a letter. user said that the merging process works fine up until the point of completing the merge. the first few letters in the merge complete, but after that, it just hangs. a different spreadsheet on a different computer is experiencing similar problems with the machine hanging when an attempt is made at completing the merge. all users are running: office 2003 xp pro 1gb of RAM the excel sheets contain anywhere from 100 to 400 individual records.
