MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / September 2006mail merge cannot open
Word(office) 2k, winxp. Followed instructions @ http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels_into_mail_merge.htm and converted one of 7 pages as a test. It worked fine. Went ahead and coverted other 6 pages and started to merge and now I get following error msg. "Word cannot open main labels.doc as a data or header source because it is a mail merge main doc." Saved table with 4 column headers, see below for example. First Name Last Name Address City, State, Zip xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx 232 xxxxxx Dr. xxxxxx, MO xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2400 xxxx Dr. xxxxxxxxxx, IL xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx 60 xxxxxxxxxxxxx Dr. xxxxxx, CA xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx 3 xxxxxxxxx Dr. xxxxxxxxxx, CA xxxxxx Mr. & Mrs. xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx 20 xxxxxxxxxxx Ave. xxxxxxxx, TX xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx 4021 xxxxxxxx Dr. xxxxxxx, MO xxxxxx Not sure what I have done wrong. L. Your data shown below is not in the format required as a data source. You need a table with the headings in the first row and the appropriate data below with one row per record - which is explained in the link you referred to.

Sorry 'bout that, I copied/pasted the table and it didn't format here correctly. This is how it looks. First Name Last Name Address City, State, Zip Mr. & Mrs.xxxx Jenkins 20 Elm St Anywhere, Tx, 12345 etc. etc. etc. etc. Strange thing is I copied and pasted the 4 columns into a Excel spread sheet and then back to Word and it works.
