Default Why do tables in Word 2003 save as Access 2003 files?

If the table had been created as a table in a Word document, you would be
able to save it as a Word document, but if you created the table using the
data entry form of the Mail Merge Wizard, then I suspect you'll have to save
it as a mail merge data source and then create the table with a mail merge.

Mail Merge tables have been created before in the Word program. However,

the
tables being referenced in my question are addresses, but are not meant

for
mail mergers. It seems as though Word thinks the tables are meant for

mail
merge and thus save as a Acccess database. Do I have the option to just

save
it as a Word document?
