Changing a Mailmerge document to a normal document.

S

Sorcerer13

Hi....
I'm using word 2010.
I have a Mailmerge document (actually a company letter with header an
footer, used by a package called "Cash4Windows" [C4W]). This documen
usually has the recipients name and address etc. inserted by C4W.
The document is a template - "xxx.dotx".
What I want to do is strip out the Mailmerge fields and save th
document as a normal Word 2010 document, 'cos the User wants to have
blank standard company document available.
I've spent a long time fiddling with the Header and Footer to get jus
what the User wanted, and I know i could just cut-n-paste the Header an
Footer into a new document, then save it as "xxx.docx", but when
looked on various help sites the normal method in Word 2010 seems to b

on the ribbon tab
Select Mailings
Select "Start Mail Merge"
Select "Normal Word Document"
then save the Word document.
I've tried this and it has absolutely no effect, as when I close an
reopen Word and select the previously saved document, I still get th
"Opening the document will run the following SQL command" splas
screen!
I've tried saving the "normalised" document with various differen
extensions, but nothing seems to get rid of the SQL.
I've also tried opening the VBA editor (Alt+F11) to see if I can fin
the SQL, thinking that if I can delete the SQL it might cause Word t
avoid the prompt, but I can't even find the SQL!!!
I know I'm getting obsessed with this issue, but PLEASE can anyon
explain WHY I keep getting the SQL warning screen (not morally, I wan
to know what causes it to be displayed), WHY Mailings/Start Mai
Merge/Normal Document seems to do nothing, and WHERE the SQL lives.
Any help will be gratefully received....
