mailmerge and word

[Marianne]

I created a mailmerge document (office word 2003) and when I want to create
letters the mailmerge works great -- I do not have to have word open - the
mailmerge opens word for me.
When my co-worker wants to create letters using the mailmerge document that
I created (she's also on word 2003), she has to have word open for it to
work. If she doesn't, she gets a pop-up that says:

letter.o_letzip x
X Cannot Open Microsoft Word
OK

Why does she have to have Word open for this to work?
Thank you

Hello Marianne,

You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word. Mac
versions differ variously from PC versions. Although several people here use
both PCs and Macs and may give you an answer soon, it's likely that more
people in a PC group have experienced your specific problem. Here's where
all the groups are listed:
