Hi Tiff,
I have to confess that I don't use data merge so the suggestion I'm about to
make is based on logic not knowledge :-).
Using the Data Merge Manager, create a new database document and leave it
blank for the moment. Now, copy all the data from the old doc *except* the
last paragraph mark (turn on the Show/Hide formatting tool so you can see
what you're doing) and paste it into the new blank document. Now try the
merge again (changing document titles where necessary).
Any help?

I've got a Word doc which contains all the (200 +) addresses added
using the Data Merge manager but Word sees it as a 'main document' and
not as a database. I've tried setting up a new Form Letter and
selecting the doc containing the addresses as the data source, but I
get an error message saying that it can't access it because it's a main
document.
Also tried saving as a txt file and converting to a table but that went
into an endless loop and after 20 minutes Force Quit tells me 'Word not
responding'.
It's a whole day's work so is there any way I can access this?
Many thanks in advance.
