Mail Merge Problem
Word 2000
Outlook 2000 Windows XP I have a mail merge document that is not working for a user. I can open the document and do the mail merge without any problems. Once a month I send an email to another user, and the email contains a link to the file. She can click on the link to open the file, but can't do the mail merge. If she opens the file by navigating to it in Windows Explorer, then she CAN do the mail merge. If I email the link to other users, they can open the file and do the mail merge without any problems, so there's nothing wrong with the links themselves, or with the mail merge document. This would appear to be an issue with a setting on her particular computer. I suspect that the inability to do the mail merge after opening the document using the email link is being caused by a security setting on her computer. But I'm not sure if that setting would be at the OS level, in Word, or in Outlook. I've already posted this question in a Word group, but have not yet found an answer. Does anyone know what's causing this behavior, and how to fix it? Thanks for any help you can offer. -- Tom MT DOJ Help Desk Making the world a safer place. |
