word mail merge

[marilynbmj]

I created a mail merge document with no problem. Now I
need to copy it on to a disk. I did and when I downloaed
it to my office computer, the datasource was missing. How
different is XP than Me? When I copied the document onto
disk, there was only one document.

I never had a problem like this; I would copy both the
main document and the data source. Please help.

Hi Marilynbmj,

A mail merge document and its data source are always two
separate files. So you always need to be sure to copy both.

If you don't know how to find out where the data source is
saved, please tell us which version of word you have.
