Merging excel data in word

[Simon]

In word 2000 my excel data spreadsheet merged easily into
my word doc and when my excel data sheet was amended and
changed to a new doc name I just when into the mail merge
helper and selected the new file and it all merged OK.
Now in Word 2002 it seems much more complicated - no
simple mail merge helper and when I did get something to
work all the date formats are incorrect form the original
excel doc. Any ideas, am I missing something - other
than a brain! Thanks Simon

Hi Simon,

Read through the Word 2002 section of my website's mail
merge FAQ. You'll find an explanation as to why it's
different, how you can handle that, or go back to the old
interface.
