Summary: Problem if Excel Dokument is used for mail merge in Word (2000 and XP)

Description Janick Bernet 2003-03-19 16:00:33 UTC 
When I attach an Excel-File generated using POI as datasource for a 
Word-Document there are no mail-merge-columns available to insert. I have to 
open the file in Excel and save it and then open the mail-merge-document in word 
again and then the data is visible. So there seems to be a small difference in 
the XLS generated by POI and the one generated by Excel which only affects Word.

The duplicate bug, whilst applying to import into access, has a patch attached 
that fixes thjis. Its just that there is a performance degregation when using 
it.
