And just how to do you "un merge" a document created by executing a
mailmerge. AFAIK there is no way to do that.

Something here does not ring true of a mailmerge.

No matter where the cursor is before you merge once merged it appears at
the
top of the , page lefthand side.I can not then select any text , move the
cursor , or type any text into the letter unless of course I un merge
first.

There is no setting that I know of that would cause this. What happens
if
you use Ctrl+A? Is all of the text in the document selected? If so,
what
happens if you then press the left arrow key? is the cursor then located
at
the beginning of the document? And can you then move it anywhere in the
document?

Once merge is complete I can not then edit the letter ie I can not
place
the
cursor in the text. I used to be able to make edits after merging with
previous word edition.

I often merge a letter to say 10 customers once merged I somtimes find
the
text does not look correct because of the differing sizes of the merged
content and so before printing I would like to be able to insrt and
elte
spaces to correct the layout.

As I say I used to be able to do this and I am not sure whats happened
,
maybe its just a setting preference that I do not Know about?

That should not be the case. Once a merge is executed to a new
document,
that new document no longer has any connection with the merge process.

I am not sure what you mean by "unless i un m." in your subject line.
