Default Mail Merge Mailing List

If it's Word 2002 or later, you probably saved the list as a .mdb file (it's
an Access database, even if you don't have Access).

As long as you can find that .mdb, you should be able to copy it in Windows
Explorer in the usual way.

Default Mail Merge Mailing List

Another way to do it is to use the original list as the data source for a
Directory type mail merge in the main document of which you set up a one row
table with as many fields as there are in the data source and insert each
field into a cell in that table. Then when you execute that merge to a new
document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each
record in the data source. If you then insert a row at the top of that
table and enter the field names, and save that document, it can be used as a
mail merge data source.
