The insertion of merge fields is barbaric, you have to add all fields
on a single line and then format the content, or close out of the
popup window after each insertion so you can add the field and
formatting at the same time.

I like the check box beside each record to select records that do not
fit a query.

Your tutorial on Mail Merge has a spreadsheet with both first and
last name in the same column of an Excel spreadsheet. You suggest to
split the data, but use an antiquated method. Instead of adding a
column and cutting and pasting each last name individually, why not
use the features of the product. Click on data-text to columns,
choose delimited length and space as a seperator and the data is
split quickly.
