Default How do I convert Word 2000 label file to Word 2003?

I need to convert a Word 2000 label list file to Word 2003. When I click on
the file name in "Starting from existing document" a screen comes up that
says "Opening this document will run the following SQL
command:[Select*(myfilename.doc). Data from your database will be placed in
your document. Do you want to continue?" Clicking no brings up a blank
screen. Clicking yes says " file is a mail merge main document. Word can't
find it's data source. Am i missing something?

To stop the message from appearing, see the following Knowledge Base
article:
"Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" Message When You Open a
Word Document - 825765 at:

http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=825765

But all you may really need to do is navigate to the data source after
clicking on Yes.
