from the Word gurus.

But here is my guess. Change the Files of Type to Excel Files (*.xls) in
the Select Data Source dialog box. Then navigate to find your file ...

I have a database with several tables, and recent created a new table for the
latest fiscal year. The old documents which have run the previous tables
will not accept the new table for mail merges.

I open a data source... find the spreadsheet, then select the table, then
the computer asks me to select a table from a list of previous formats where
I do a select of previous tables to for some special formatting.

It's confusing as all get out. How can I get this mail merge to work and
hook it up with the data source.
