Mail merge xls/csv crash?

[WorthJ]

Hello,

I'm doing a mail merge from a spreadsheet to word.

When I select the spreadsheet via word it only works if the spreadsheet is saved as a csv.

If the spreadsheet is saved as an xls when I try and load the list of recipients from word, word crashes.

I've got no idea why. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair)?
