I am trying to make a mail merge document, but it keeps saying my Excel document is a table. Well, it’s nothing more than a list of names and addresses. When I look at the file itself in the folder, it has an attribute of ‘A’ which none of the other files have. I tried looking up attributes in the help file but it’s very complicated and talks about schema and stuff. Why did my Excel file suddenly start saving as a table?

Try doing a save as and make sure in the save menu that you are saving it as a workbook or worksheet. Also, make sure your columns have headings like “Name,” “Street,” “City,” “State,” “zip,” etc., cause you’ll need them to use the merge wizard in Word. (I am assuming you are doing the mail merge in Word. If not, nevermind.)

But … your source document should be a table, shouldn’t it? Are the fields named properly? Because I’m afraid that without looking at it, that’s the best help I can offer. Sorry!
I have a meeting in 20 minutes because my company is changing health insurance providers. Again. This will be the third insurance change in as many years. I just hope my primary doctors (who I’ve had for years) are covered. Not to mention the orthopedist I’m seeing next week for the probable carpal tunnel. Le sigh.
Not much going on today, except that dratted 4-letter word.
Last night, my son came by with his best friend from when he was growing up. He’s been in Afghanistan and just got back. It was good to see him! They went out to play pool.
I have to go today and see exactly where this place the temp agency wants to send me on a job interview is. They don’t want to send me unless they’re absolutely sure I’ll be able to get there. It’s near a bus line, but it’s not an actual stop on it–you have to get off and the stop and walk a bit. None of the temp agency folks seem to know how far that would be in walking terms, so it’s up to me to find out.
Good morning. I’m posting from home because the sprog has his annual checkup today. This time, it involves shots. I don’t envy him that at all; I once locked myself in the bathroom rather than get the dreaded shots. But a little bribery goes a long way, and I think I can see my way to making a stop at Massey’s Frozen Custard afterwards. It’s only right, after all.
[QUOTE=Lissla Lissar] Mika, that video was really cool. There’s something adorable about the concept of him travelling all around the world and doing this ridiculous dance in every place.

Oh it’s that video? Dancing Matt? That guy is my hero. I wish I could follow in his footsteps - literally. It’s right in line with my favorite quote from Nietzsche: “And we should consider every day lost upon which we have not danced.”

It’s Tuesday. I’m finally starting on my presentation that I will give on Thursday. I’ve got plenty of time.
Hey swampus, what’s your opinion on billing?
Hmm. Pun? Pun.
They put their money in a Swiss bank? Or is that not the hole story?

I think I love you. I wish more people thought like that. I even like the pun today.
Did anyone miss me?
I’m a bad girl because I haven’t even read the OP yet (but I will); I just wanted to check in and say “hi”
I promise to catch up before the week is out.
Rosie! I missed you.
I got my spreadsheet to work. But the original won’t work no matter what. I had to cut the bit out of it I wanted, and then use the new file.
Ok, so here’s a question. If you go into a file full of folders. And change the view to “detailed”, you will see a column marked “Attributes”. What does that column mean?
