You could use Word 2007 with a Directory type mail merge main document to
which the .mdb file is attached to create a Word document that contains a
table with each record from the data source as a row of data in that table.
To do this, in the Directory mail merge main document, insert a one row
table into the cells of which you insert the mergefields. Then, after
executing that merge to a new document, insert a row at the top of the table
into which you insert the names of the mergefields that you want to use in
your original mail merge main document. Then save that new document as a
Word 97-2003 document and attach it to the original main document as the
data source.

Although the .docx document is converted to .doc and is readable by Word
2003, the accompanying database .mdb file is not. How can this be
converted
so that a Mailmerge document created in Word 2007 and stored as a .doc
document can be read and merged by Word 2003?
