Default UPDATE!! fields to plain text in Word 2007



Just wanted to update on this topic...

When in the "mailings" menu, in the "start mail merge" section, if you click
on start mail merge drop down menu, there is an option for "normal word
document". If you click on that, it will take the fields out of your
document.

In Word 2007, I have form letters that I send out (one at a time because they
need just a touch of tweaking). I then need to email them to the appropriate
person. When "I" open them up they're asking to pull from my database.
After I've done my tweaking to them, I save it (diff name,in that persons
folder), then I do a ctrl-A, then a ctrl-shift-F9 to keep the data in them as
it looks right now.

When I go to open it up again, I'm asked again if I want to pull the data
from my database. I don't want the recipients asked this too!

Is there another step I need to take in Word 2007?? I didn't have this
problem in Word 2003...

Thanks all!!
