After selecting my mailing list and editing it, Word gives me this error
message that Word has stopped working and needs to close. What is wrong and
how do I fix this?

What version of Word? What type of mailing List is it? That is, how was it
created in the first place?

Word 2007. It is a mailing list of names and address I buy in .txt file type
to send advertising letters out for our business. When I receive the mailing
list by email I save it to my computer then in Word I select mailing then I
select the mailing list and edit it after finishing editing and closing that
is when I get the message that Microsoft Word has stopped working and needs
to close. I appreciate your help, Thank you, Margie

I would either open the mailing list using FileOpen, then save it using
FileSave, before making any changes, or, use the list as is and attach it
to a Directory type mailmerge main document in which you insert the field
names in to the cells of a one row table. Then when you execute that merge
to a new document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for
each record in the data source. You can then insert a row at the top of the
table into which you insert the field names and made the changes in that
document.

Doug, tried your suggestion, but Word still crashing after I close the
editing of my mail list. Should I try something else.

It might be simpler to convert text to table in Word?

But should we be encouraging spammers?
