Can you access the old way of doing mail merge in Office 2003? (I hate new
Wizard). I want to see my main document and attach a datasource. Is there
any place where you can see the main document with your fields such as
<<name>>, etc.

See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm which will
demonstrate how to do it the 'old' way.

>Use the merge toolbar. It allows the same features as

previous versions and you don't need the wizard

Hi

view / toolbars / customize
in the commands tab under all commands, look for mail merge helper
drag to toolbar - this will give you the 2000 version of mail merge

Cheers
