Mail Merge Help Needed. Filters will not work. I am DESPERATE

[Dee Carpenter]

I am trying to mail merge. When I click on "mail-merge recipients" from the
menu, I choose the filter parameters then click "ok". However, my choices
don't stay. When I open the menu again, they are gone.

When I first open the file, and click "open data source", and click the
Excel merge file, I am getting a different table selector. All my merge
files are suddenly affected. It starts with the data source.

Please help me.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?RGVlIENhcnBlbnRlcg==?=,

I am trying to mail merge. When I click on "mail-merge recipients" from the
menu, I choose the filter parameters then click "ok". However, my choices
don't stay. When I open the menu again, they are gone.

When I first open the file, and click "open data source", and click the
Excel merge file, I am getting a different table selector. All my merge
files are suddenly affected. It starts with the data source.

You're losing me, here. I assume this is Word 2002 or 2003? Are you selecting a
connection method (DDE, ODBC, OLE DB or the spreadsheet file converter), or
just using the default Word gives you to link in the Excel workbook?

What do you mean by "table selector"? Can you list the steps, and describe the
messages and dialog boxes?
