Default How do I add recipients to a mailmerge label list?

Open the mdb file with Excel, and add the new names and addresses and save
the file as an Excel Workbook and use that as your data source.

This should be very simple. I created address labels using Word mailmerge
and
finished the merge, printed the labels, everything's OK. Now I want to add
new recipients to my existing .mdb file and re-merge. I can open the
original
document and edit the existing recipients, but how do I actually add new
names and addresses? There is no button on the Mailmerge toolbar to ADD
recipients.

Please provide simple step-by-step instructions because I have tried
everything and can't seem to open my existing data file so that I can add
names and addresses, only edit the existing ones.
