I am trying to merge an Excel spreadsheet in Word to make
some mailing labels and my program keeps giving me the
error that "cannot establish DDE connection to complete"
when I try. This is new; I used to be able to and have
been having some problems with different applications in
Office lately such as my printing menus changing
appearance and therefore not allowing me to see all of the
options I could before. Should I be re-installing
something or worrying about a crash?

See if http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm helps with
your label issue.

You'll need to tell us more about the printer menu in order to determine the
problem - but don't go re-installing anything. It will not help.
