Adding file name to a mail merge using PDF

Differences in mail merge in 2007 and previous version

When you then used the document, when you entered data, a pop - up form would allow you to enter the data for the fields and then be inserted in your data document which then was merged into a new form letter. When I try to set up the same type of document in 2007, I don't get ...
