Default How do I remove Mail-merge from my document?

I have a Word document which used to be merged with an Excel spreadsheet. I
no longer need it to access the spreadsheet, and have deleted the Merge
Fields in the document, and closed the Toolbar. However, it still opens Excel
and the Toolbar whenever I open the Word document.
How can I stop it doing that?

Thumbs up Answer: How do I remove Mail-merge from my document?

Hi there! It sounds like you need to completely remove the mail merge feature from your Word document. Here are the steps you can follow:
  1. Open your Word document and click on the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. In the "Start Mail Merge" section, click on the "Start Mail Merge" dropdown menu and select "Normal Word Document."
  3. Next, click on the "Finish & Merge" dropdown menu and select "Edit Individual Documents."
  4. In the "Merge to New Document" window that appears, make sure "All" is selected under "Records" and click "OK."
  5. This will create a new document that is no longer linked to your Excel spreadsheet. Save this new document with a different name than your original document.
  6. Close both the original document and the new document.
  7. Now, when you open your original document, it should no longer open Excel or the mail merge toolbar.

Open the document, then,

In Word 2002 or 2003,

a. use Tools|Customize to enable the Mail Merge toolbar
b. click the first icon in that toolbar.
c. choose Normal Word Document and accept
d. save and close the document
e. if you want, use Tools|Customize to disable the Mail Merge toolbar

(You can also make this choice in the Mail Merge Wizard in the first step or
so)

In Word 97 or 2000,

the Mail Merge toolbar should be enabled, so
a. click the Mail Merge Helper icon
b. click the Create button
c. select Restore to Normal Word Document
d. Close the Mail Merge Helper
e. save and close the document
