Mail Merge Auto Selecting Recipients

[EVO]

Very weird and totally frustrating. I have a mailmerge document (MS Word) in
table form, that consistently automatically selects a bunch of records in the
input file (recipients) - mostly near the top of the file there were not
selected. (Clear all, select wanted records, get list - contains records not
selected). Try to reselect and uncheck the items, and they get checked all
over again. What can be going on that is causing records to get selected?

What version of Word and what is the data source?

Behaves the same on two networked computers, one with Word 2002 on XP and the
other with Word 2007 on Vista. Data source is an Excel spreadsheet. This has
been working for a long time and only recently started exhibiting this
behavior. I did make some code changes in the Word file but tested an older
version and it is doing the same thing?

I cannot explain it. If you want to send me a copy of the mail merge main
document and the spreadsheet, I will take a look at it.

Hi Doug
I'll send them to you. I am leaving for a 2 wk Italy trip in the AM, so if
you get something this evening great. But if you send something after this
evening I don't want you to think I have ignored you. I'll pick it up when I
get back - I DO NEED to fix this.
