What would happen if I saved it in Word?

Also, one last question: Is there a way to add a new field/header after the
datasource has already been created using the 6-step process indicated at the
right hand side of the Word screen?

Thanks again!

You can certainly *copy* the data file to CD media (just don't save it there
from Word).

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?
