How do I add to an existing mail merge table?

[sandra]

I created part of a list of people to receive a mailing using the "new"
wizard and pressed enter instead of tab. Now I cannot go back and put in
more names. Do I need to retype the whole list?

Thank you for your help.

It would be easier to give you specific advice if you advised what version
of Word you are using.

In 2002/2003, from the View menu, select Toolbars and then check the Mail
Merge item to display the Mail Merge toolbar which has buttons on it for all
of the operations involved with mail merging so that the use of the Wizard
is not required. You can also by selecting Cusotmize from the tools menu,
add the Mail Merge Helper from previous versions of Word onto a toolbar.

You can do similar things by customizing the ribbon in Word 2007.
