Default Once i have merged data into the main document how do i edit?

Hi ?B?bXN0aW1wcmluY2U=?=,

I have a mail merge document in excel that i have merged to word. I
understand to edit the document i have to create a main document. Once I edit
in main document mode how do i change, add or delete information using my
original data source?

It's not clear whether you mean to edit the main merge document, or the data in
the Excel source? Nor do you mention the version of Word involved.

If this is Word 2002 or 2003 you have to open the workbook in Excel and edit the
data there, if that's what you're asking.
