2000 to 2003 upgrade - Data Source file
I upgraded from Word 2000 to 2003. In Word 2000 when I used and Excel data
source for my mail merge. The Excel file would be opened and minimized on the taskbar. In Word 2003, although the merge form uses the Excel data source, the Excel file is not displayed on the taskbar. Can I get back to the older interface? I looked at Cindy Meisters site and don't seem to find what I am looking for; either that I'm not sure what to look for. Any suggestion? TIA |

Yes, check Word Tools|Options|General|"Confirm conversion at open", then go
through the process of connecting to your data source again and select the DDE option when it is offered. Peter Jamieson "Jan" wrote in message ... I upgraded from Word 2000 to 2003.
