Mail Merge & Excel

R

Rich Sidley

I have wierd interactions using Mail Merge in Word with
an Excel data file and sending to Outlook Express.
Specifically, there are two issues:
1. Some cells with more than 256 characters will transfer
fine, but others will truncate.
2. If I run a mail merge, then close all programs, then
open Excel again, I get a holy experience -- the windows
frame for Excel is there, but the entire internal cell
space is missing with the background showing through.

Any ideas?

My versions:
Word 2002 (10.5522.4219) SP-2
Excel 2002 (10.4524.4219) SP-2
Outlook Express 6 6.00.2800.1123
Windows XP Professional 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-
1633 : Service Pack 1)
