Locating mailmerge letter via a datasource

I'm using Word 97 and was just wondering whether there is a quick way of searching for any mailmerge documents that are attached to a specific datasource (i.e. search within a datasource for linked documents).

Hi =?Utf-8?B?SmltUE5pY2hvbGxz?=,

I'm using Word 97 and was just wondering whether there is a quick way

of searching for any mailmerge documents that are attached to a specific
datasource (i.e. search within a datasource for linked documents).No, I don't know of anyway to do this, at least not as I understand you
envision it. The Excel files don't "know" they're attached to any merge
documents; the link information is stored completely on the Word side as
part of the documents' binary file structure.
