How can I remove the merge data source from a Word document? ... I have an
Excel file that is the data source and everytime I open Word, it opens the
Excel file... I no longer wish to have the Word document as a mail merge
file, but would just like to use it as a regular Word document without any
mergefields or merge links... Can anyone help?

I have a WinXP w/ Word/Excel 2000

TIA! ...

Open the document and then access the Mailmerge helper from the Tools menu
and in Step one, instead of formletter, select the option for a normal Word
document.

It worked! Thank you very much! ... I didn't know that option would be
located there...
