Mail Merge Wizard

[Phil Beischer]

At step three of the Mail Merge Wizard it chooses My Data
Sources by default to find a your data source. Is it
possible to change the default so that I don't have to
brouse every time I want to do a merge? I use only one
data source exclusively.

You can change the folder to a sub folder of My Documents by changing the
foldername in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\DataServices
(where 11.0 is Office 2003)
Or you could put your data file in the default My Data Sources folder. I
don't know of a way to specify that merge always uses the same data file,
though I sure you could cobble together a macro to do the job.
