Hi,
I am running 10.9.5 and Office 2011. This problem is new after installing updates. I am trying to complete a mail merge (labels) from an excel worksheet that I have merged successfully in the past. I am getting the message that "this file needs to be opened by the excel Workbook text converter" I choose "OK" and then the excel file opens in "read-only" mode (which it isn't until that point) and thus Word can't read any data in the cells.
I have repaired disk permissions, re-saved the excel file, copied and pasted the data into a new excel file, saved the file as .xls instead of .xslx, right-clicked the excel file in Finder and chosen 'open with excel' . . .
Any help would be soooooooo appreciated!:'(

Sounds like Office lost it's mind. I would try a reinstall of Office to see if that gets it going again.
