MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004View data sourcebutton is dim
In Word 2000 I could click "edit data source" and then "view source". Would get a complete editable table of the recipients. In word 2000, if I click "mail merge recipients" and then "edit" I get just one record. The "view source button is dim". How do I view the data source in aan editable table?? Thanks Sorry the middle sentence should be word 2003. ----- Norm wrote: ----- In Word 2000 I could click "edit data source" and then "view source".

How do I view the data source in aan editable table?? Thanks Hi Norm, You will need to open the datasource in its native format, not throught the mailmerge utility. Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP > Sorry the middle sentence should be word 2003. > ----- Norm wrote: ----- > > In Word 2000 I could click "edit data source" and then "view source".

How do I view the data source in aan editable table?? > Thanks I thought this was a newsgroup. Another example of a step backward. I (rather my wife) has been using and editing a database I set up for her for over 6 years. She is not very computer savy and whenever procedures change it takes me much learning for her to get back to where she is comfortabel again. Updates to software should be improvements, NOT degradations. It is a newsgroup. FWIW I agree with the content of your final sentence. Add your protest to those already sent to mswish@microsoft.com Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.
