When I follow the prompts on the right hand side I get to Select Table and i
check the box about headers and then OK. Then I get a box with my source name
in which I click oK on then I get Word Can't open source. Why not?

Is this Word 2002 or 2003? What kind of data source are you trying to link in?

I'm looking at the Mail Merge task pane (the thing on the right). I don't see
any entries that correspond to the terms you're using in your problem
description. This makes it difficult to follow where you're running into a
problem. Could you please rephrase, in more detail and using the text Word puts
on the screen, so that we can try to duplicate what you're doing?
