Default Merging an Excel doc and Microsoft Word doc returns REF! in 1 fiel

Our company switched our operating systems to XP and our Microsoft Office to
2003 just recently. Since then our mail merge has not worked right in
Microsoft Word. I've figured out how to merge the documents now, but for
some of the fields I want replaced with an address it is not doing what it
should do. For instance, when the documents are merged, one of the fields
returns "REF!" instead of the actual address. All other fields are fine
though which is kind of strange. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

See http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0003.htm for an explanation of what is
(probably) going on here - in this case I think you will need to use the DDE
option described there.
