If you use the "Type a new list" option in the Mail merge wizard in Word
2002/2003, you can only create a .mdb. You can still create a data source
directly by creating a Word document containing a table whose first row
contains the field names. You can also use Tools|Customise to drag the
MailMergeCreateDataSource command from the All Commands category to a
menu/toolbar and use that. But the data edit facility is, I think, always
the new one in Word 2002/3

when creating an address list, looks like the former word table list.
However, when saved, it's saved as Access mdb. Can this be changed and
how?
Help please!!!
