SYMPTOMS
When the Mail Merge Helper dialog box is activated by a macro command, some of the options are either unavailable or already activated using defaults rather than offering you choices. The following commands behave differently than expected:
 * The Create option doesn't allow you to select a new main document. The macro automatically changes the active window to a mail merge main document.
 * The Restore To Normal Word document doesn't offer a confirmation dialog box. The macro immediately removes all data file and header file information.
 * The Edit Data Source button opens the data source in View Source mode rather than the Data Form dialog box. To open the file in the Data Form dialog box, click the Data Form button on the Mail Merge toolbar.
