view and edit data source
My company recently got Office 2003. In the previous version of Word, I was
able to view the data source when merging documents by going into the main document and clicking a button. Now it looks as though in order to view and edit the data source, you have to go into it by clicking the Open Data Source button and browsing to it. I work in a large company and don't want our users to have to do that. Is there a simple way to locate and edit the data source, similar to how it was done in Word 2000? Thanks! |

You can restore the mailmerge helper that was the user interface before Word
XP by selecting customize from the Tools menu and then on the Commands tab, select the All Commands category and scroll down through the list of commands until you locate the Mail Merge Helper item and then click and drag it onto a toolbar or the expanded tools menu. -- Hope this helps.
