Not as far as I know.

The other main options are probably:
a. have a column in Excel that allows you to mark the records that you
want ( or do not want) using Excel (e.g. with a "N" if you don't want
them) and use a filter in Word to retrieve the records that you do want
b. split up your data source in some way to make it more manageable as
far as selections are concerned. But in that case, you will probably
have to do multiple merges, so (a) is probaby your best bet if it is
feasible for you.

Word, I go to the option 'Edit Recipients' , and deselect some of the records
fomr the mail merger. I then exit the 'Edit Recipients' option, and go back
in again to make sure my selection has been saved

besaved OK, when more it will not be saved.
