It sounds like you saved the doc with your last merge, versus with the addresses. In pre XP versions, a data source is simply a Word table. So open the address.doc in Word and see what you have. Is it a table or is it a formatted set of docs? (XP uses an Access DB as it's source.)

Diasparra Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2002 7:26 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Labels question Can anyone help with Labels? I want to print mailing labels that I have from a previous mail merge experiment with Office 2000. I open WORD, select TOOLS | MAIL MERGE | CREATE MAILING LABELS. Select Active Window and then on DATA SOURCE | OPEN DATA SOURCE then scroll to my MAILINGLIST.DOC file that I used previously. When I select the file and click open I get Office Assistant that says: WORD cannot open Mailing List as a data or header source because it is a MAIL MERGE main document. All I want to do is print the labels with the different addresses, can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong?? Victor A.
