What are you using as the data source? Try using a Word document instead of
a database.

I want to create a mail merge document, but I want the data source to
always
contain blank fields. I can create the letter and add the merge fields
and
create the blank data source, but the first time I add data to the data
source it automatically saves the data. I NEVER want the data saved in
the
data source. I tried saving the data source as read-only, but then I
can't
enter anything into it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
