Default mail merge recipients list changes back automatically.

I am using an existing document in Word 2007 that has worked before in 2003.
When I select my recipients (in an existing excel file) the list comes up
fine. I then 'un-click' unwanted entries and choose okay, however, the ones
that I have taken off still show in my preview. Also, when I go back in to
'edit my recipients', the list has automatically changed back to full.

I have never tried to use that feature. Instead, what I would do would be
to insert the letter A in a new column in the data source and then sort on
that column in Excel and note the number of the first and the last record
that contains A in that column and then when executing the merge, set it to
merge only that range of records.

Hope this helps.
