MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2004Getting Word to recognise Works 4.5a
A few years ago with my first computer I had Word and Works 4.5a running in windows 98 and I used to print address labels from the Works database address book, using Word. I have now purchased a new computer with XP and also SP1 & SP2. I have reloaded Works 4.5a & Word, plus transfered all of the info over from my old computer with no problem apart from the fact that Word will not now recognise my database address book. When I now try and mail merge Word says it cannot open this database within Works. Any suggestions on how I can get Word to open up/recognise this Works database will be gratefully received. Thank you very much. Word is not compatible with the Works database. The Works Suite comes with a dubious add-in that provides some interconnection but otherwise causes more problems than it solves. The best solution is to export the Works database to a format that Word can use e.g. dbf, comma delimited text etc.  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > A few years ago with my first computer I had Word and Works 4.5a > running in windows 98 and I used [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Any suggestions on how I can get Word to open up/recognise this Works > database will be gratefully received. Thank you very much. Thank you Graham for your answer. I will give it a try the weekend. Thanks again. Horatio > Word is not compatible with the Works database.
