Default Spreadsheet Help Please

Ralph

Other than providing several helpful sites on Mailmerge I did not "tell you"
to do anything.

I would first copy the data from Works into an Excel workbook, manipulate
that data into the proper format...........outlined in any of the sites
posted.........then save the workbook.

Now open Word and start the mailmerge steps pointing to the Excel workbook.

Good luck.

Gord I followed the procedures you gave in the URL but my Word program could
not open the Excel file. What did I do wrong. I set the Excel file up as text
as you said and then pasted data from a Works data base into it. Is that my
problem? Am i going to have to retype the whole thing?
