I (foolishly) moved my Access 2007 Database and corresponding Templates by
using "Cut and Paste." Now when I attempt a merge, I get "5151 Word was
unable to read this document. It may be corrupt." When I open the
templates, I notice that the Bookmarks show and are listed, but the goto
button won't light up. Restore didn't help. Any suggestions?

It sounds like the error message may be accurate. Try selecting a
template in the Open dialog, clicking the down arrow on the Open
button, and choosing "Open and Repair".

Beyond that, http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm
may help.

Thanks, Jay. I had also posted this in Access and I found that, while I had
changed the path in VBA, I still had to change it in the form properties.
I've got it working now.

Great, thanks for letting us know. I don't deal with Access forms, so I
wasn't aware of that wrinkle.
