Default Word 2007 mail merge problem

We have some old mail merge documents in Word 2003 format (we are using Word
2007), that used to work fine. Word 2003 main document is merging with Word
2003 table - now get error messages saying that Word can't find the data
source, and that there is a problem with the content of the mail merge
document.

We used to be able to merge main documents with Word tables - is this a
problem in Word 2007?

Default Word 2007 mail merge problem

There is really no change in the mail merge functionality between Word 2003
and Word 2007. Have you tried re-attaching the data source to the mail
merge main document?

Hope this helps.

Yes, have reattached the data source again and saved; but each time we reopen
the main document we get the same problem again.
