Assuming that you are using Word XP or 2003, from the View menu, select
Toolbars and place a checkbox against the Mail Merge item. Then you can
customize that toolbar (ToolsCustomize) by selecting the All Commands
Category and locating the Mail Merge Helper item and click and drag it onto
the toolbar. Using the Mail Merge Helper, you should be able to edit the
data source.

Another way is to use a Directory type mail merge main document to which you
attach the data source and in the main document, insert a one row table with
as many columns as you have fields in your data source and into the cells of
that table, insert the merge fields. When you execute that merge to a new
document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each
record in the data source. You can then insert a row at the top of the
table and into that row insert the names of the fields in your original data
source. You can then edit the data in that table or add or delete rows and
save it and use it as a data source.

using the wizard, once I've entered all my contacts and gone on to the
next step, how do I edit existing names or add more names to the contact
mailing list. It only lets me sort or filter, etc. Thanks.
