Ok...then if it is indeed the one you want to use for your mailing list, while it's open, go to Tools>Mail Merge and click on the Create button under where it says Main Document....then click on Restore to Normal Word Document....if it is in fact your list of mailing addresses and not your merge document with fields in it, this will fix the problem and you can now use this document as your data source again. You might want to make a copy of it before you do this, in case I am misunderstanding you and this is NOT your data source document. Good luck.

Is there something I am missing? Vic You are trying to open the wrong file. You are trying to open the file that you put the merge fields into, not the file that has your names and addresses in it. You need to open the one with the names and addresses in it.
