DDE connection
I'm new at this. I created a form letter and I want to do
a mail merge to use info from an excel file that was sent to me. When I get to step 2 in the wizard, I get "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Excel to complete the current task" Using Office 2000 Premium. Not sure what version the spreadsheets were created as, I saved them as Excel 97-2000 Jane |

DDE connection
Hi Jane,
I'm new at this. I created a form letter and I want to do a mail merge to use info from an excel file that was sent to me. When I get to step 2 in the wizard, I get "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Excel to complete the current task" Using Office 2000 Premium. Not sure what version the spreadsheets were created as, I saved them as Excel 97-2000 DDE-connection problems are difficult to trouble-shoot, and sometimes the problem is system-specific and you can't get it to work. A search of the Knowledge Base on "re-establish DDE connection" will turn up hits for most versions of Word. These might help you most http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=813989 http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=196952 http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=171596 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Sep 30 2003) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
