Having used mail merge since V6 of Office I have become used to printing out
a copy of the data source should I need to. I now have to do this in Office
93 but am having problems finding out how to. I don't want to merge it just
print it for checking by my boss then I will merge the data with the main
document. Am I the only one to need to do this?

Use a directory type mailmerge maindocument linked to the same datasource.
Set up the mergefields inside the cells of a one row table with nothing
elsed in the document. When you execute the merge, a table will be created
with one row for each record in the data source.
