Word should give an option for using the old-style mail merge
The mail merge in XP and later is totally clunky and over-complicated. There
are many more steps in XP/2003 to get the same results as in 2000. The mail merge in 2000 worked just fine - why was it changed? This is why I hate "upgrading" - the useful features get changed and the real bugs don't. I want the superior old style mail merge back. And that goes for inserting pictures and clip art too - more steps to the same end. |

You can use the old methods still -
