Hi =?Utf-8?B?TGVlQW5uX0RFTg==?=,
I am encountering the error "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to complete the current task." when trying to open an excel data source for mail merge mailing labels. I'm running Office 2000. Start with this Knowledge Base article WD2000: ErrMsg: "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Application to complete the current task." http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=224048 Note that there is a mailmerge.fields newsgroup where you might have gotten a quicker response...
