formatting a data source

[Mark]

Hello,
I am looking for a relatively easy way to create a data
source for a mail merge document that I can format. Data
source created in word cannot be formatted into a form
(or I cannot figure out how to do this).
Thanks,
Mark

I don't understand what you are trying to do here. A data source is merely a
list of records, in one format or another, that Word can use to fill a merge
document. That merge document could be a layout to match a form that you
wish to fill.

For creating simple data lists, a Word table works as well as anything, with
fieldnames as the column headers.
