{| = PRB: Word 2.0 Produces Errors When Using Mail Merge Wizard =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q113538

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS
After you use the Mail Merge Wizard to perform a mail merge to Microsoft Word 2.0 for Windows, a WordBasic error message appears. Several errors may appear, including:

Error 1138 - Window is too small Error 504 - Window does not exist

CAUSE
The client document window in Word 2.0 is maximized.

RESOLUTION
To solve this problem, invoke Word, and then set the client document window so it is not maximized. When the Mail Merge Wizard invokes Word upon subsequent usage, the client document window will not be maximized in Word, and the error messages will therefore not occur.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
1. Start Word 2.0. 2. Maximize the client document window in Word. 3. Quit Word 2.0. 4. Start FoxPro version 2.6 for Windows. 5. Invoke the Catalog Manager. 6. USE a table. 7. Use the Mail Merge Wizard to send output to Word 2.0.
