I hope someone can help with this. I set up a Word table
with a header row to use as the data source for a mail
merge letter. Never had any problem with this in Office
2000. Word 2003 doesn't seem to recognize it as a proper
data source, since it doesn't contain delimiting
characters.

Can you tell me how to get this to work - or if it's just
not possible to use a table as the source anymore?

Hard to say what the problem might be. I use Word 2003 tables exclusively
for small merges without any difficulty whatsoever.
See if http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm points the
way forward?
