Default Mail Merge Database Name

Hi,

Refer to the online help titiled "Data sources you can use for a mail
merge". Normally the term link is not used in such situation. The term is
merge document. The source is a Microsoft Excel file and the Mergerd document
is the Microsoft Word document.

Hi ?B?UEFDVGludA==?=,

the filename of the excel spread sheet that the word doc is linked to into
the word doc itself, is this possible?

There is no way to ask Word to insert this information. You'd have to type it
in manually (or use a macro to enter the information).
