I have Word 2000. I have done many Word mail merges in the past using Excel lists that have Fields in the first row such as Name, Address etc. before, and never had a problem Now, when I get to the step where you Get Data, I insert my excel document, and ask to show Entire Spreadsheet. Then I get this error message: "Word found no merge fields in your main document. Choose Edit Main Document button to insert merge fields." So, I click on the Insert Merge Field button, and it says: Auto Merge Field 1, Auto Merge Field 2 etc. through Auto Merge Field 9 In the past, my fields listed on the first row of the Excel file would be listed here at the Insert Merge Field button, and now they are not. I have tried everything I can think of to do a merge with no results. HELP!!! If you have a suggestion, please reply to my email caroline5601@xxxxxxxxx as I am on digest mode. Thanks!
