Is there any way to save and merge an address list in
Word. It keeps asking to save as an Access Database file

If you create a Directory type mailmerge main document with the field names
as the entries in a single row table and then execute that merge, a table
containing the addresses will be created.

To do this, just create a table in Word itself as a normal
document. Put the field names (no spaces) in the first row
and your records in the following rows. Make sure this
table is the first and only thing in the document. Proceed
as you would with any data source. Hope that helps.
