Recipients filter word 2007

[lh]

I have a database in Access 2007 which I merge into Word 2007 documents to
create reports, mailings, etc. In these reports, mailings, etc., I normally
have more than one criteria for choosing which records I want. A few months
ago I ran some of the reports, merged the Word doc with the Access database,
edited my recipients list using filters, and ran the reports. Worked
FANTASTICALLY! Yesterday and today I attempted to run some of those same
reports but come up with different results. When I go back into the Word
document, my filters have changed if I originally had more than one filter
criteria!! I change the filter back to the criteria I need, run the report
again, and I get the same inaccurate results, go back to the Edit Recipients
List and find that Word put more bogus filters in! Does anyone know if
something happened via, say an Office 2007 update or something, within the
last couple months that would have caused the filter part of merging to go
awry?

I would do the filtering by using a Query in Access. Data manipulation is
done far better with a data base than a word processor.
