Word For Mac Mail Merge Converter
I just updated to the new Yosemite operating system. I have been trying to mail merge an excel document into a Word document to make labels and keep getting the message that says 'This file needs to be opened by the Excel Workbook text converter, which may pose a security risk if the file you are opening is a malicious file. Choose OK to open this file only if you are sure it is from a trusted source.' Which it is, because I made the excel spreadsheet. Then, I hit okay and I get this, 'The converter necessary to open this file cannot be found.'
If anyone can help me, I need very basic step by step directions, as I am not a technology savy person. I have NEVER had any problems like this so I do not know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
