Merge and Save

[Michael]

I merge a document from my data in Word XP Pro and then
format/edit the merged document and then save and close
it. When I go to re-open the document Word prompts me to
re-merge the data and if it does, then I lost all my edits
and formatting of the merged areas. Also, when I open the
document in a lower version of Word, the same thing
happens without a prompt to re-merge. Anyway of saving
the merged new document so there is no more merging to it
from the data source?

It sounds as if you are not actually executing the merge, just looking at
what the result would be in the mailmerge main document.
