A datasource created via the Wizard will be created in the form of (some
form of) an Access database. To (small a) access it other that via the Mail
Merge utility, you must use Access.

Using Word 2003, is it possible to create a new Word datasource using the
wizard? When I get to step 3 (select recipients) & choose "Type a new
list", the only option is an Access datasource. I know that it's possible
to create the Word datasource first & then choose it, but what about using
the wizard? (I also know you can do it using the old MailMergeHelper
dialog
box).
