Default All records merging

Hi ?B?Q0Nsb3Vk?=,

2003
We are working throught the mailmerge taskpane as we have for a long time.
Selecting edit recipients. Selecting clear all. Checking just the names we
want. We click okay- and move on - but all when we return to look at who we
selected after all letters merge, we see that all records are reselected.

Right. I'm not a big fan of this dialog box, as it has certain problems. But I
do understand why it's useful :-)

I'm guessing it could be a problem with the document (damaged). If you start
Word holding Ctrl (= Safe Mode) and link to your datasource, insert a couple
of fields, select some recipients and merge...

Does this document retain the selections, as you'd expect?
