Good morning -

We recently upgraded our office to Office 2007. So far, so good - but
for one thing. We use mail merge for a number of customer letters. In
previous versions of Word, we could tell it we wanted to create a new
list of recipients, and it would display a data form displaying all
the data fields that needed to be filled in for that particular
letter. With the new version, it defaults to a grid, which only
displays the first few fields and would need to be scrolled to the
right in order to see more fields. Is there a way to get Word to give
us back the form-based view for entering recipient data?

Thanks
-Neil

Add the (good-old) Mail Merge Helper to the Quick Access Toolbar.

If you do not know how to do that, right click on the QAT and select
Customize and then select  All Commands from the Choose commands from
pulldown, then scroll down through the list until you come to Mail Merge
Helper..., then click on the Add button.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.
