Excel to Word Mail Merge error message

Hi AB'ers

I have an excel spreadsheet full of data which I wish to use in a mail merge to a word doc. I have done it many times before, but for some reason when I attempt to 'edit individual letters' and select 'all' (or anything) I get the error message 'word could not merge the main document with the data source because the data records were empty or no data records matched your query options'. I have tried everything I can think of, including trying to understand some very technical suggestions I have come across online but to no avail!

Can anyone help? I need to 'extract' the individual records to a multi-page word doc to then convert to a PDF (and onto a disc) for a client, otherwise I'll need to type them all manually...and there's over 200 of them and will probably take me the best part of a week! O_o

Thanks in advance,

Chatterbox
