I create my first dbase for our company business contacts. I was able to go
into the contacts table, highlight, chose tools/office links and chose word
mail merge (03). I finally ended in step 3 edit recipient list and a box pops
up with mail merge recipients i.e. name/address etc. I am trying to delete
the column called "position title among a few others.
Can anyone explain how to delete unwanted columns? Clear all won't work
since everything will disappear. Choosing all blanks won't work since all the
data goes blank. Anyone familiar with this?

Thanks I fixed it myself by hiding the columns and publishing it via excel
then using existing list in mail merge.
