Default Edit data source icon when mail merging in Word 2003

I have used mail merge in Word 2000 and found it excellent because I could
'live' edit my data source by using the edit data source icon. This does not
appear to be available in Word 2003: anytime I want to edit my data whilst
keeping my mail merge document open it says my excel file (my data source) is
locked for editing! Any ideas on a way to get round it?
