Is everyone a robot? I just do not understand Word. I do not want my data
sources in the My Data Sources directory, I don't even know where that is.
I want it in particular place, and it's different with each merge. How can
I change it so that each time it does not default to My Data Sources and
have I have to spend 15 minutes clicking my way to where I need to go. At
the very least, have it default to My Documents.


Thank you many times.
 
I wish I knew the answer to this. What I do know is that it can't be changed
from Tools | Options | File Locations, so I'm guessing it's a Registry key.
What I'd really like is to see it default to the current folder, since I
usually keep my data sources (when they're Word tables rather than Excel
sheets) in the same folder with the mail merge main document.
