#Microsoft mail merge from excel windows#
We are both using Office 2010, and Windows 7. Now, changes to excel are not shown in word, and saving the excel doc while the word mail merge documents are open produces a sharing violation (winword has a handle on the excel file). HeĬould also save the excel document while the word docs were open without problem. He could then make changes to the excel file and see those changes reflected in real time in the opened word mail merge documents. Open a client database (excel file), open N number of word docs that were mail merge docs to the excel file.
