I set up a letter and linked it to a data base to do a mail merge. I deleted
the letter and now I canot print the data base (list of names, addresses,
etc. How can I convert a mail merge data base into a document that CAN be
printed?

Set up a catalog (or in Word XP and later it's called a "directory") type
mailmerge main document that is linked to the same datasource and in the
mailmerge main document, insert the mergefields into the cells of a single
row table in the document. When you execute that merge to a new document,
you will get a document containing a table with one row of data for each
record in the data source.

Hope this helps.
