Hi Ingcarlosc,

How i can do to open the excel document too?
Click to expand...
Word only opens the Excel application with the merge source if
you're using a DDE connection. Word 2003 uses an OLE DB connection
by default. In order to specify a DDE connection when linking in
the data source, you need to activate "Confirm conversions on open"
in Tools/Options/General.

Note: DDE is a very old technology. It no longer works on all
machine configurations.
