Using a previous version of Word, I developed a file of approximately 500
names and addresses, which I use as a basis for producing mailing labels. I
used the database toolbar to maintain the file - adding new entries, updating
entries, and deleting entries. How can I accomplish this same function in
Word 2007, without recreating the entire database?

The database that you created was probaly stored as a table in a Word
document. You can open that document and edit, add to, or delete records
directly in the table.

See the article "Creating a Mail Merge Data Source" at:
