Default Mail Merge Recipient List Editing

I have selected the data source file as I mentioned in my posting. Then I
click on Edit. This takes me to the data form. However the "View Source"
button is greyed out. I used this many times in Word„˘ 2000 to change the
data file. But it does not work on Word„˘ 2007. Does the data file need to
be a ".docx" to work?

In Word 2007 you need to select the name of the data source file in the
box that appears in the bottom left of the Edit Recipients dialog - then
the Edit option should be ungreyed, unless something else is wrong.

I am able to get to the recipient's list for editing a mail merge document.
And I can get to the data form (which is a Word„˘ 2007 document). However, it
will not allow me to view the source as I used to do with Word„˘ 2000. The
button is greyed out. Is there a setting I forgot to select to allow this
option?
