Default Word 2003 - setting default Merge options

See the article "What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup
readers to help me out?" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm

You can check the location of the Word Startup folder by selecting Options
from the Tools menu and then going to the File Locations tab.

This sounds like a great solution, but I'm unfamiliar with the process.
Do I need to use "Visual Basic editor" (on the "Macro" dropdown) to
accomplish this?
Where does it give me the option to choose the "Word Startup folder"?
If the instructions to create a macro in a template are too detailed, is
there a KB article that I can refer to?

When I click on the "Merge to New Document" button on the mail merge
toolbar,
I get a dialog box asking whether I want to merge "All", "Current
record",
etc. Is there anyway to set it up so that it automatically merges "All"
without prompting me?
