Default Problem with Mail Merge Office 97 vs Office 2000

Hi,

I have a word document which uses a small txt file for Mail Merge,
which worked just fine under Word 97.

I upgraded to Word 2000 and the Mail Merge fails.

I opened the txt file (to be merged) and I saved it as a UTF-8 file.
and the problem was partialy fixed.

I the Word document I have a table with merged data, the result merged file
was a table with shiftted lines,
i.e:
I.D Name
122
233 Joe Koker
Martin Doe

Thank You
Aylon.

Hi Aylon,

Could you copy/paste the corresponding part of the text file into a reply,
please, so that we can see how it's constructed.

And is the main merge document a real TABLE, or a table created by using TABs
for each column? I'm just wondering how you get the ID and Name at the top of
the columns...
