Mail Merge

[Dara Michelle]

Every time I try to run a mail merge I get an error message stating not
enough memory or disk space. I had 2 gb and just switched it to 4 gb and
still get the same message. Help!

Hi Dara ,

Have you tried repairing your Word installation (Help|Detect & Repair for Office 2000-2003, or Word Options|Resources|Diagnose for
Office 2007)?

I've had exactly the same problem with Word 2003.

Repairing the word installation doesn't solve the problem. It seems to have
been introduced with a recent update as I know this was working perfectly
fine a month ago. We've tried rolling back and also various machines with and
without the updates but without success.

We've ruled out environmental problems. It looks to be something in the way
Word reads/writes memory but we've come to a complete dead end.

Hi Utters,

There are plenty of other possibilities - repairing is always a good place to start, though.
