Default directory mail merge: auto pop-up template for the final listing??

Hi,

This is a pressing issue. I got as far as connecting to the database and
creating the record lines. In the last step, however, I can only select
'merge into a new document'. The result of this is a simple list of all
records on one page. I then have to manually have to add header, footer, logo
etc.

However we do this a lot... Can I create a template that will be used for
the final document? Can I use database fields in this template?

I know it must be possible because we have a demo template, that
automatically opens a document with a dummy logo, some more information and
presents a list of the merged rows. However I cannot see anywhere where I can
EDIT or MODIFY this template.

If anyone has a clue how to achieve this please let me know... both how to
create a new template and edit/modify the example one I have...

Thanks for your help!
