Spurious Or filter rule being added Rowan Bradley 11/16/2008 1:35:01 PM I'm trying to do a mail merge in Word 2007. I'm using an Excel spreadsheet as my data source, and specifying some filter rules to select the records I want. Every time I close the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, and extra "or" rule that I didn't specify is spuriously added to the Filter Records box, causing a whole lot of records to be included that I don't want. What on earth is going on? Thanks - Rowan
