How do you print your mail merge recipient list (data file)?

I have set up my mail merge, printed my letter and envelopes. Now I want to
print just the recipient list to use later. How do I do this?

Thanks for any help

Use a directory type mail merge main document (or in versions before XP, it
is called catalog). In that main document, insert a one row table with as
many cells as you have fields in your data source and insert one field into
each of the cells. Do not have anything else in the document. When you
execute that merge to a new document, that document will contain a table
with a row of data for each record in the data source. You can insert a row
at the top of the table into which you can type the names of the merge
fields. Then you can save that document to use it as a data source, or
print it out if that is what you want.
