Deleting a Data Source (Word 2003)
I had generated a mail merge document which I linked to an Excel table.
I have since decided to remove the mail merge feature from this document. I deleted all the data fields that point to the Excel table. However, when I open the document, I still get a message that the data source is being opened, and if I press the merge button, it still spits out several copies of the base document, even though there are no variable fields. How can I disconnect this data source from the document so that I don't get this message any more? -- Erwin H. (Terry) Straehley http://www.strassoc.com

One way is to enable the mailmerge toolbar using Tools|Customize, click the
first button, and select the Normal Word Document option. -- Peter Jamieson "Terry Straehley" wrote in message om... I had generated a mail merge document which I linked to an Excel table.
