I would value some help on mailmerge issues in Word 2007, which our office
has recently upgraded to.

We are a Christian aid organisation. One admin job is to send out regular
receipts to donors. We have several merge letters each linked to a text
file. We are used to Word 97 where the merge file is saved with the link,
and for each batch the text file is overwritten with newly exported data. So
the merged file can be created in 2 clicks - Open and Merge.

In Word 2007, we have worked out how to open and merge the letter, but it
takes much longer, because we don't know how to save the link to the data
file. This means every time we open the letter, we have to recreate all the
merge settings from scratch.

Is this correct, or are we missing something obvious?
