Converting a Word Table to a data source for mail merge

[Michael]

I'm trying to figure out how to make use of address
created in a word table. I want to be able to use it as a
mail merge.

How are the addresses laid out? Do you have a table with a single column
with a complete address in each cell? If so, you can put a cell at the top
of the table with a column name (e.g. Address) and insert a field such as
{ MERGEFIELD Address } in your mail merge main document, where the {} are
the special braces you can insert using ctrl-F9.

Or maybe you have one element (street address, city, state, country etc.) in
each column of a table?

Or something else?
