Mail Merge

[Guest]

"Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Excel to complete
current task" appears when I try and open data source during a mail merge.

Hello-

The message suggests that the XL file has either been moved/renamed/deleted
or that XL is not installed on the system you're working from. Correcting the
situation should resolve the problem.

mail-merge data source in Word 2000".
