When I try to create labels in Publisher from my Excel file, it says data source cannot be opened because it is not supported by this application. What does that mean? Do I need to fix something in the Excel file? I am using Office 2003.
Do you have titles on each of your fields in Excel? Have you changed anything in the commercial printing area? You receive a Publisher cannot continue error message when you try to print a mail merge in Publisher 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828505/en-us -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Starr" wrote in message news:057561E6-9E55-4909-B19A-E3FC3A1013C5@microsoft.com... > When I try to create labels in Publisher from my Excel file, it says data > source cannot be opened because it is not supported by this application. > What does that mean?

I didn't send them up but I believe they have titles. It is just a membership list. I need to pull the names and addresses for a mailing. The lady who worked here before said she used to do it but she tried and got the same message. What do I need to look for - I'm not up on Office, I'm a Wordperfect fan.

I know I didn't read the remedy in the URL? How do I do that. I do not know if the service pack is installed or not. I have been here since August 2007. I do not believe I did it.
