MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2004Mail Merge
I get this message when I try to do a mail merge using a MS Access Database. "The merged documents contain unmarked changes. Do you want to merge up to the first untracked change?" Even before I accessed MS Solutions, I made sure that the document tracking functions were off and that I had accepted all changes. Clipit says that I had no changes to accept. I did this for all three categories in the Accept or Reject Changes program. That did not work. Then I tried to merge into a new, blank document and got the same message. I have done everything in the MS solutions information sheet and I still cannot merge my documents. I am not new at this function and have lots of experience with Word and Access but this is the first time I have had this problem. Suggestions or help anyone? Thanks, MaryD There maybe some form of document corruption going on. Try copying and pasting everything but the final paragraph mark into a new document.

I have deleted everything and tried merging - it didn't work. I have set up a mail merge into a completely new, blank document - it didn't work. I have pulled up old mail mergers that I know worked and get the same message. I have removed all links from the document - I get the same message. I have tried everything I can think of and I still get the same message. Now I have done a detect and repair and rebooted again and I still get the same message. I am at my wits end with this thing. Thanks for your help. Mary idcllc@northlink.com >-----Original Message----- >There maybe some form of document corruption going on. Try copying and [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > >. Hi Mary One thing I haven't noticed in your list of things you've tried is "safe mode". Try - START/Rund - type: winword.exe /a - OK; Word should start (but it will look "funny") - now try linking to any data source and merging, using the mail merge tools in Word (I have no idea what you mean with "Microsoft Solutions", but let's keep anything non-Word out of the equation for the moment) (Note: which version of Word are we dealing with? What's your data source?) > I have deleted everything and > tried merging - it didn't work. I have set up a mail [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > message.
