In Office 97, I could link several Word letters to one
Excel spreadsheet (ie the data) and use a Wizard to filter
as necessary.

New records could be added to an existing data file and
the Wizard Query would allow me to isolate and merge-print
to only the new ones.  Very useful!

Is this still possible with XP as it looks so different
and I've read somewhere that it isn't.

Thanks

Hi Jannoth,

You should be able to make mail merge in Word 2002/2003 work
more or less the same as in Word 97 by using the old
connection method (DDE) and the old tools. You'll find
information on this in the Word 2002 section of my website's
mail merge FAQ.
