SUMMARY

The Microsoft Access 97 Help topic "Interchange Microsoft Access data with Microsoft Word" states the following about merging data with Word:

   If you are using Microsoft Word version 7.0/95 or later, you can use the
   Microsoft Word Mail Merge Wizard to create a mail merge document in Word
   using a link to Microsoft Access data. Once the link is established, you
   can open your document in Microsoft Word at any time to print a new
   batch of form letters or labels using the current data in Microsoft
   Access.
				

This information is incorrect. You cannot use the Word Mail Merge Wizard to open a Word document in Word 7.0. If you try to do so, you will receive the following error message:

To use the Word Mail Merge Wizard in Microsoft Access 97, you must have Word 97 installed on your computer.
