Re: How do I remove a data source froma document Peter Jamieson <pjj[ at ]KillMAPSpjjnet.demon.co.uk> 11/13/2008 5:19:49 PM You can set the Mail Merge Main document type to "Normal Word Document" - in Word 2007 that option is on the Start Mail Merge button. In Word 2002 and 2003 it's probably easiest to use View->Toolbars to enable the mail merge toolbar, then use the first button to do that. In Word 2000 and earlier, use Option 1 in the Mail Merge Helper. You will lose any data source sort/filter options when you do this, but all the merge fields will remain in the document.
