Create New Recipient List: Form vs. Grid
Good morning -
We recently upgraded our office to Office 2007. So far, so good - but for one thing. We use mail merge for a number of customer letters. In previous versions of Word, we could tell it we wanted to create a new list of recipients, and it would display a data form displaying all the data fields that needed to be filled in for that particular letter. With the new version, it defaults to a grid, which only displays the first few fields and would need to be scrolled to the right in order to see more fields. Is there a way to get Word to give us back the form-based view for entering recipient data? Thanks -Neil |

Add the (good-old) Mail Merge Helper to the Quick Access Toolbar.
If you do not know how to do that, right click on the QAT and select Customize and then select All Commands from the Choose commands from pulldown, then scroll down through the list until you come to Mail Merge Helper..., then click on the Add button. -- Hope this helps.
