You have to follow the instructions that Arshad posted to convert the file from Excel format to a space-formatted text file. Then you must create a CSPro dictionary that describes that file. After that you can use in CSPro the data that was previously in Excel format.

Sorry, I feel like there is still something missing. After you create the dictionary file, how exactly do you use the .prn-formatted Excel data. (Mostly, I'm just trying to create a .ddw file from Excel, but this CSPro step seem to be necessary).


Thanks!

BTW, that feature comparison gatekeeper is hilarious. 8-)

By a .ddw file are you referring to a IMPS dictionary file? If so, why do you need the CSPro step? If not, what format are you referring to?

I'm glad you like the feature comparison gatekeeper! I hope that it hasn't kept too many legitimate posters from commenting. Mail Merge can be tricky!
