Mail Merge error

[Russk68]

Hi All
First time trying to do this:
I am trying to print labels from my Excel spreadsheet with Word using mail merge. It's a XLSM that I changed to XLSX. When Word tries to open the file, I get this message: This workbook contains unreadable content and cannot be opened.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

changed or saved as, just changing the extension won't wash, you have to open in the original format and then save as

Aside from the fact that merely changing the extension doesn't change the file type, why bother? A mailmerge will work quite happily with a xlsm data source.

Ah
I'll give that a try!
