specifying a range of cells in excel when mailmerging

[denhoward]

hi there

newbie to this group and mailmerge.

when i try to specify a range of cells during my mail merge using a
colon, i get an error message - word could not reestablish dde
connection to ms excel...

i know its probably a straightforward question but how do i specify the
range of cells (say A3:AH51)??

thanks in advance

den

ps can anyone recommend any straight forward instructions on how to
mail merge that i could give to my colleagues?

thanks again

With DDE you typically need to use RnCn notation instead - e.g. R1C3:R51C32
