Use the database as the datasource for a Directory type mailmerge in the
main document of which you have a one row table with a mergefield in each
cell of that table. When you execute that merge to a new document, that
document will contain a table with one row of data for each record in the
datasource. Edit the data there and then insert a row at the top of the
table into the cells of which you insert the names of the mergefields. Then
save that document and use it as the datasource for your mailmerge.

Alternatively activate the old mailmerge helper (see
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm ) whereby the edit
data source option will convert the MDB file to a Word document which you
can do what you want with. That will then be the data source for the merge.
