Keep mail merge format from 2000 when using 2003!

[Sharoo]

New isn't always better, I like the old mail merge format it was much more
straight forward and I got exactly what I wanted. The 2003 way assumes things
I don't want and I do more fiddling and fussying around. Give me the option
of using the old way!!!!!

You do have the option of using the old way! But it is a bit hidden.

Select Tools > Customize > Commands (tab)
Select "All Commands" under Categories (on the left)
Scroll down the list on the right to find "MAilMergeHelper"
Click and drag it to a toolbar.
Close the Dialog.

Click on your new button to use the old mail merge.

Mail Merge was changed with version 2002 - but you can still (more or less)
do things the old way -
