see the field list to insert fields into Word 2007

There used to be a way to be able to see the field listing in Word 2007 to be
able to insert the fields you want. How do I do this in Word 2007 from an
Excel spreadsheet for instance? Thank you.

The Mailings tab, Write and Insert Fields group, Insert Merge field
option gives you two ways to see the list of field names available - if
you click the top part of the icon, you get the Insert Merge Field
dialog box (where you would typically need to ensure that the Database
radio button was selected). If you click the drop-down part, you see a
dropdown list of field names.

Or did you mean something else?

Other fields commonly used in merges that you used to be able to insert
from an Insert Word field dropdown in earlier versions of Word are now
individual items that you can put in the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)
using Office Button-WOrd Options-Customize

The complete list of /Word fields/ is available in Insert-Quick
parts-Field

Or you can insert such stuff by using ctrl-F9 to insert a pair of field
code braces {} and typing the field code using the keyboard.
