MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004mailmerge
when i try to mail merge between word and excel it tells me initailizing dde and then the process hangs up and I have ctr/alt/del to get out of the process. I have tried to reinstall my programs and something is missing. Help. Does this happen even if you create a completely new Excel sheet and use that as the data source? Is this Word/Excel 2000? If Excel Tools|Options|General|"Ignore other applications" is checked, uncheck it (but it might be worth finding out why it is checked first). Two things worth checking/trying: a. does your Excel spreadsheet run any macros when it starts up? b. it is possible that your Excel spreadsheet is corrupt. It may be worth creating a completely new sheet and copying the contents of the existing sheet into it. -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org/ > when i try to mail merge between word and excel it tells > me initailizing dde and then the process hangs up and I > have ctr/alt/del to get out of the process.
