How do I access a directory created in Mailmerge?

[TrinityELC]

I created a directory in MailMerge, but when I try to open it from my disk,
it tells me it can't find the program. I can open this by going into
Mailmerge, beginning to set up a directory, and then browse for my list, but
I want an easier way to open it. I need to make this very user friendly for
someone else to use and to print labels from.

Depends on your version, ELC.

Create a directory type mailmerge main document to which you access the data
source and place the mergefields inside the cells of a one row table in the
main document. Then execute that merge to a new document and you will get a
table containing a row of data for each record in the datasource. Insert a
row at the top of the new document and enter the names of the fields into
this row. Then save the document and use it as your data source.
