I find that merging to excel is the easiest format. I need more information
to give you specific feedback: Are you merging to a form, envelope, label or
what?

You should always quote the exact wording of an error message when asking for
help. Based on what you tell us, see if this article applies to your situation:
WD2000: ErrMsg: "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to <Application>
to complete the current task."
