Errors in occuring in document created in 2003 merged in 2007

[Chris]

Has anybody been experience problems with mail merge when working with a
document created in 2003? I have had a series of strange problems including a
zero appearing in the merged document where I have text (literally words) in
the source file. When the merge is done in 2003 those errors do not occur.

From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then go to the General tab
and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. (In Word
2007 it is Office Button > Word Options > Advanced > General > Confirm file
format conversion on open). Then when you attach the data source to the mail
merge main document, you will be given the option of using the DDE method of
connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in the table.
