Excel-Word mail merge

[stew119]

I have an Excel 2002 worksheet with about 300 entries. I want to merg
only a few of these into a form letter. I run through the mail merg
wizard in Word 2002 and deselect all and only select the ones I want.
It merges all rows not just the ones I want.

Any ideas

Hi Stew119,

I have an Excel 2002 worksheet with about 300 entries. I want to merge
only a few of these into a form letter. I run through the mail merge
wizard in Word 2002 and deselect all and only select the ones I want.
It merges all rows not just the ones I want.

I assume you make the selection in the Recipients dialog box?

Have you set any filters in Excel?

Are you specifying a connection method, or just using the default? If
specifying, which one?

What type of merge: letter, catalog, labels...?
