Forgot to mention - I am using Office 2000 to create these mail merge
letters. On sites that use it, however, they are using combinations of
Office 2000, 2002, 2003.

I think the only way you will be able to do this is
a. disconnect the mail merge main document from its data source before you
distribute it. This will remove the information about the data source
location, and sort/filter specifications, but will not remove fields.
b. change the Access application to use Word Automation to connect to the
data source (e.g. using OpenDataSource) and set up any necessary sort/filter
conditions - if any are needed, it is really a question of issuing the
correct SQL in the OpenDataSource call.
c. test, test, test.
