In Word, that's just the way it is. It would have to be stored
/somewhere/ at some point (even if it's in volatile system memory) but
Word needs to get it either
a. from a file in a file system, such as a word document, text file,
excel workbook, access database
b. via a text converter (which would normally get the data from a
file, but you could conceivably write one which did not)
c. via a ODBC driver or OLE DB provider, which typically get their
data from files, or servers that store their data in files, but again,
you could conceivably write a driver/provider that got its data from
somewhere else.
Where do you want Word to get its mailmerge data from?
