Office 2000 small business, Windows XP Pro: I am trying to create  Avery 8160
lables in WORD form an Excel database. . My sequence in WORD is as follows.
Tools>Mail Merge>Create Main Document>Mailing Lables> Active Window>Get
Data>Open Data Source. When I get to into folder that contains the .xls file
the only files listed in that folder are WORD files. When I click on the File
Type drop down menu at the botton of the OPEN DATA SOURCE window, the only
options I have are "All Word Documents", "Word documents", "Web pages", "Rich
text format", "Text files and "MS Access databases" (for what it's worth I
don't even have M.S.Access but I do have Excel.). There is no "All Files" or
"Excel
databases" option. I have done this successfully in the past with Office 2000
and XP Pro but it is not working now. I have not changed software or
computer or anything elsw I am aware of since this worked last Help

It is possible that the Excel filter has been removed by a security update.
You can add it again - linked from the downloads page of my web site,

Graham,
Thanks for your reply. What is the section of your download page and title
of the suggested download?

Is it the *same* version of the file? If not use the one linked from my web
site and save the one on your PC elsewhere while you see if it works for
you.
