adding names to a recipient file
Assuming that you are using Word XP or 2003, from the View menu, select
Toolbars and place a checkbox against the Mail Merge item. Then you can customize that toolbar (ToolsCustomize) by selecting the All Commands Category and locating the Mail Merge Helper item and click and drag it onto the toolbar. Using the Mail Merge Helper, you should be able to edit the data source. Another way is to use a Directory type mail merge main document to which you attach the data source and in the main document, insert a one row table with as many columns as you have fields in your data source and into the cells of that table, insert the merge fields. When you execute that merge to a new document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each record in the data source. You can then insert a row at the top of the table and into that row insert the names of the fields in your original data source. You can then edit the data in that table or add or delete rows and save it and use it as a data source. -- Hope this helps.

It only lets me sort or filter, etc. Thanks. |
