When I do a mail merge and am asked to select the data source, Word always
starts in
C:\Documents and Settings\fredp\My Documents\My Data Sources
Is there a way to change the starting directory?

Thanks

Yes and no. The setting is determined by a registry entry, but you can only
change it to a location on the same drive as the My Documents folder. For
more details see the Data Selection section of
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm or
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm as appropriate.
