Problem
When trying to run a merge, the error message, “The OpenDataSource Method or property is not available because this command is not available for reading” appears. The merge document opens, however, it returns no data.
Cause
Microsoft Word 2013 defaults to open a document in read only mode. The data cannot be written into the merge because Word does not allow editing in read only mode.
Solution
Change default settings in Word
