When I connect to a data source for a word document mail merge, it gives me
the option to check or uncheck recipients. How can I save that for use with
another document mail merge? Baiscally I am using the exact same recipient
list for more thant one document. I don't want to have to go back and check
and uncheck the same things over again for each document I want to merge.

Use the "checked" data source with a Directory type mail merge main document
in which you have the merge fields in the cells of a one row table. When
you execute that merge to a new document, that document will contain a row
of data for each of the checked records in the data source. Insert a new
row at the top of that table and into the cells of that row, enter the names
of the merge fields (not the mergefields themselves). Then save that
document and use it at the data source for your mail merges.
