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?  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

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

I would either open the mailing list using File>Open, then save it using File>Save, 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. SignatureHope this helps.

It might be simpler to convert text to table in Word? http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels_into_mail_merge.htm But should we be encouraging spammers?

Doug, tried your suggestion, but Word still crashing after I close the editing of my mail list. Should I try something else. > After selecting my mailing list and editing it, Word gives me this error > message that Word has stopped working and needs to close.
