Mail merge recipients/Advanced filter is duplicating criteria

[baron5805]

Every time I access the Mail Merge recipients/Advanced filter and Save the
file, Word doubles the criteria. Starting with one criteria, I close and
re-open the workbook and there are now two of the same criteria. Access
Advanced filter and OK, close and save, re-open and there are now four
critiera. Next time 8 etc.

I am using Word 2003, linking to a Excel 2003 list of names.

Office is up-to-date as far as MS is concerned.

This happens with Excel 2007 and 2010. Any ideas community?
