Recipient list continues to default to all records

[KMiles]

When using the mail merge wizard, I edit my recipient list, select clear all, then check the records I want to merge into a label. When I preview my selection, all records in the database merge into the label. What am I doing wrong?

From the View menu, select Toolbars and check the Mailmerge toolbar item.
Then use the Toolbar instead of the Wizard.

If I set up a mailmerge via the toolbar and use the View Recipients button
to select/deselect individual records, then when previewing or executing the
merge, only the selected records are displayed/merged.

Have you tried actually executing the merge (to a new document)?
