When using Mail Merge within Outlook 2003, a blank Word document opens up -
in addition to the merge file expected. Why does this happen? How can I prevent it? -jms |

Can you provide the exact steps to reproduce the problem?

From within a Contacts List in Outlook2003, I choose a view. Then I go go
Tools...Mail Merge. I choose an existing document and browse to it (a .dot file) . Then click OK. Word opens. A blank document opens. Then the merge document opens and I can merge. I'm just always left with an unneeded blank document. Hope you can help. -jms "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Can you provide the exact steps to reproduce the problem? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "jms00" wrote in message ...

I've tried to duplicate this and can't so I don't know what the cause might be. You could always see if running Help | Detect and Repair fixes it.
