Merging data from Excel to Word

[Guest]

Impossiblit situation now with Office XP. Merging date, for example, grades,
to Word, for example, a transcripit, grade/status sheets. Used to be so
simple. Now multiple digits instead of 6.00 as recorded in the Excel file.
While in Word document, the Excel file is no longer present on the taskbar
for easy checking. Resolutions?

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill
has instructions here:

about half way down the page.

If you use the DDE connection, the linked Excel document should open.
For other types of connection, I think you have to hunt for the file.

You could ask in the Word MailMerge newsgroup, and someone may be able
to help.
