Address List dialog box not appearing

[Joanne]

When I select Edit Recipient List link the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box
appears but when I click Edit button nothing happens? I believe from viewing
instructions on working with the recipient list that I should be able to view
an Address List dialog box from this box I can interact with the chosen data.
Any ideas - am using Word 2003 on Windows XP

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Sm9hbm5l?=,

When I select Edit Recipient List link the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box
appears but when I click Edit button nothing happens? I believe from viewing
instructions on working with the recipient list that I should be able to view
an Address List dialog box from this box I can interact with the chosen data.

This button only really works for lists that were created using Word's internal
tools. How did you create the recipient list you're trying to work with / In
which application is the list?

Did you try opening the list using another program instead of Word (such as
Access)?

Which version of Word is this?
