Mail merge recipients - edit button?

[Steve Geard]

When I click on "Mail Merge Recipients" in Word 2003, to display a list of my
mail merge recipients, the "Edit" button is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
How do I activate the "Edit" button, or is there another way of changing the
details in mail merge recipients list (e.g. change someone's address).

Thanks.

From the Tools menu, select Customize and then go to the Commands tab and
select the All Commands category and then scroll down through the list of
commands until you come to the Mail Merge Helper item. Click on it and drag
it onto a toolbar. Using that, you should be able to edit the data source.

Thanks Doug, but I am not quite sure what you mean by Mail Merge Helper item.
On the Commands tab there are two lists Categories and Commands, neither
displays an item named "Mail Merge Helper." Categories does have "Mail
Merge", if I click on that I get a new list in Commands, but still no "Mail
Merge Helper" item.
