Mail Merge List

When selecting recipients, I can "Use an existing list", or type a
"New List".

With my existing list, I forgot to add some fields that I need. How
do I add these new fields to my "Existing List"?

Thanks...
 
Use the existing list as the data source for a Directory type mail merge in
the main document of which you insert a one row table with as many columns
as you have fields in the existing datasource, plus additional columns for
the new fields that you want to add. When you execute that merge to a new
document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each
record in the data source. Insert a row at the top of that table into the
cells of which you insert the names of the fields and then add the data for
the new fields for each record. Then save that document and use it as your
data source.
