Default mail merge recipients

Thank you so much. Even though I'm still wonderin why step 5 0f 6 shows
multiple pages of the labels, sometimes in different order, I am very happy
with the instructions that you gave me. And the toolbar makes things much
easier for me! I'm also happy to have the Mail Merge Helper back!

I do have one more question...What is the best way to back up a datasource,
so that I don't lose all the information if something happens to my hard
drive. Can the datasource be saved on a CD-RW?

Merge to a new document. It's called Edit merge or similar in the wizard,
but simpler from the merge toolbar - see

Why, in Step 5 of 6 of Word 2003 Mail Merge, are there more than one
Recipient, as in "Recipient 1" and "Recipient 2" ( indicated by the
arrows) even though there is actually only one page of labels. And
why don't you see the final merge until after you've selected the
print feature? I'd like to know how many pages of labels to put into
the printer.

I read in one of the posts that you can use an output (or was it an
outsource) document. Regardless, what do you use as an
outsource/output document if your datasource is in Word?
