Default How do I retrieve my original document from Mail Merge?

I was trying to type labels for a letter in Word. I opened Mail Merge but
couldn't figure it out. Now I can't get rid of the Mail Merge format on the
document and I am unable to get my original document back. I tried MS Help
and followed directions twice, but it doesn't work.

On the Mail Merge toolbar, click on the "Main document setup" button and
choose "Normal word document."
