mailmerge macro

Hi everybody!
I want to create a macro for mail merge that will allow me to open the
databace and peek the people I wan't to mail to, and only then - continue to
execute the mailed letters.
I've tried to record a macro by doing it step by step in word itself but
this macro saves the people I chose and does not allow me to change my
selection the next time I run this macro...

I hope someone will be able to help me do that...

You do not need a macro to do that. From the View menu, select Toolbars and
then check the Mail Merge toolbar item. It has a button on it that will
allow you to view the recipients of your mail merge.

Hope this helps.

Hello Doug!

Thank you for your reply!

I know I can do this through the rulers of word... but since I am making a
macro that creates both mailmerge according to specific cells in access db I
want to enable this feacher also in this userform so people that are not so
"great" with computers or word it self will find it easy to merge mail.

I also know that there is a buildin macro in word that opens the data
recipients: MailMergeRecipients.... but I don't know how to open it in my
userform...

I will be very grateful for any help in doing that....

Thank you

Iris
