Mail merge help - 09 Mar 2006 20:51 GMT

During the Mail Merge Wizard Process I don't have the option to 'Edit
Recipient
List'. The Edit button is dimmed. The data source is not protected. At
one time I was able to update and add records to the data source. Now it
won't let me.

I take it this list was created using the tools Word (2002 or 2003?)
provides? Since you say "the data source is not protected" did you ever try
to look at it or edit it using a tool other than "Edit Recipient list"? If
not, how do you know it's "not protected"?
