Default mail merge

Word 2002/2003 will only let you edit recipients in Access tables in the
Edit Recipients dialog box if the Access database has a special structure
that Microsoft calls an "Office Address List". If your Access database isn't
one of those, you have to open Access separately and edit the data in there.
You /may/ be able to "refresh" Word's view of the data in the Edit
Recipients dialog box using the appropriate key.

I am trying to edit a recipient's data using Access as my data source. The
Edit button is greyed out. How do I edit the recipient?
