Can you tell me how I can view the Mail Merge toolbar in Word 2007, please?

In earlier versions, I could just view the toolbar rather than going through
the wizard to do mail merge but can't find the same thing now.

TIA

There is no mail merge toolbar in Word 2007. You can do much the same from
the Mailings tab - see http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm

As Graham has indicated, the Mailings tab contains most of the same buttons
as the Mail Merge toolbar, though some of them have different names. If you
experiment, however, I think you'll find you can arrive at the same result.
The button to start with is the Start Mail Merge button, which is the
equivalent of the "Main document setup" button on the MM toolbar. To connect
to your data source, click Select Recipients and choose Use Existing List.
One of the biggest improvements is that the Insert Merge Field button offers
you a menu instead of the clunky dialog that is the default on the MM
toolbar. Edit Recipient List is the equivalent of Mail Merge Recipients on
the MM toolbar. Under Finish & Merge, Edit Individual Documents is the
equivalent of Merge to New Document. Bottom line: the procedure is slightly
different, but the process is essentially the same.
