merger error

[Erin]

I am running Publisher 97 in Windows ME (yeah, I know, old
school). When I try to open any of the mail merge options,
this error message appears:

Mspub has caused an error in PUBMERGE.DLL.
Mspub will now close.
If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your
computer.

Well, restarting the computer didn't do anything. I'd just
reinstall it, except I think the disk broke, and at any
rate is lost. I have a newer version of office for my
llaptop, but that doesn't have Publisher. What should I
do? And is there anything for the short term? Some other
way to open my list of addresses?

This solution would probably work for you but without your disk, you are up a creek
without a paddle,
