i have an excel spreadsheet which I am using as my mail merge from word.

When I have tried to use on different computers , different word documents the mail merge at the same time it will not let me use it. I can only use it once the document that has been using the mail merge has been closed. There must be a way were this can be used at the same time by multiuser.

Can anyone help me

Hi,

Is the Excel spreadsheet that you can’t use by multiuser? Is it a shared workbook?

If so, please open the Excel document, under the Review tab, click Share Workbook. Tick the check box before “Allow changes by more than one user at the same time”. Click OK and then check the result.

If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to post back and provide more information about this issue.
