MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004How to reapply the source to an existing document?
I created a simple address sheet using excel. However when I update the list in excel and go to the document that I "merged" - I do not know how to reapply the new information that was added to the original excel file.The old word document does ont include the new information (addresses). Any help approciated. I'm not sure what you are doing but what you should be doing is a. create a mail merge main document that creates your address sheet, and save it b. each time you need an updated address sheet, re-open that document and re-execute the merge (at the moment you may be just re-opening it and previewing it). -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org/ > I created a simple address sheet using excel.

I did re-excute the merge but the document just prints what the old merge had.

In that case, have you tried reconnecting to the data source? (FWIW with any luck you can save paper by merging to a new document first and verifying that the output contains what you need before printing) -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org/ > I did re-excute the merge but the document just prints what the old merge > had.
