Default How do I set up delimiters in my Word data file?

I followed the online directions and set up my data file in a table with a
header row in Word. But when I try to set up my letter that I want the file
to merge to I am told that I need delimiters added?? How do I do that? Why
isn't that in the directions??

If you saved your data file as a Word .doc, you should not see this
question, which applies to files such as text files. (Did you save your data
as an HTML file?)

But let's just be sure that you are doing the other thing correctly: are you
then setting up a separate Mail Merge Main Document, then using either the
Mail Merge Wizard (word 2002/2003) or the Mail Merge Helper (Word 2000 and
earlier) or the mail merge toolbar to open/select your data source?
