Default Merge in Office 2007 w/o Access

I believe the answer is "yes" to both questions but have not actually
checked recently. Word does not actually use "Access" to open and
maintain .mdb data sources: it uses the same "database engine" that
Access does, namely "Jet" (or in Word 2007, possibly "ACE").

I'm curious:

In versions of Office 2007 without Access, when one does a merge in Word and
creates a new address list, is the address list saved as an mdb? If so, can
one add records to the list in Word after the merge?

Thanks.
