Data Source
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. |

Data Source
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. -- Hope this helps.
