MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2006Mail Merge Error Message
I'm trying to create some labels with the mail merge program. I have recently done this successfully with a smaller excel file. The current excel file that I need to convert into labels is over 1000 names. When using the mailmerge program I am getting the error message "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Excel to complete the current task." What is this error message for and how can I fix it? Any suggestions would be great! Thank you! I wanted to add that I am running on Word and Excel 2000. > I'm trying to create some labels with the mail merge program. I have > recently done this successfully with a smaller excel file.

I suppose I will try to have the document sent to me again. I believe the original person who sent it to me had to convert it from an access file. Not sure though. I will see what we can do.

If it isn't a complicated file, try saving it in .csv format then re-openeing and re-saving in Excel. Peter Jamieson > Thanks for the suggestion.
