Ok Glenda...are you saying that after you've completed the merge and go back
to the Mail Merge dialog box, the button at the bottom that says "Query
options" or something like that is grayed out?

That's in Word 2000...in Word 2002, AFTER YOU'VE COMPLETED THE MERGE, are
you saying that in Step 3 of the merge, if you look in the task pane, "Edit
Recipient List" is not available?

Remember, this is AFTER you've completed the merge and the data from Excel
is already in there....you still can't run a filter?

If so, that is definitely weird and I've never seen a setup like that in all
the companies I've done mail merges with....no matter where the Excel data
was, once the merge was done, the data was now in the actual merge document
and anything I wanted to do with it then I could do.

trust me Linda. I DON'T have access to the file.  All I can see in Word
is the list Insert Merge Fields icon. The Open Data Source and Mail
Merge Recipients icons are grayed out.  The only thing I can do is
choose which fields I want to include in a merge, one of which is that
blasted @#$%* communication field. isn't there some way in a merge field
to say 'like' ?
