Default Mail merge recipient dialog box

Why are the "edit" and "refresh" buttons at the bottom of the mail merge
recipient dialog box grayed out? They were available in the last Word
version but I cannot figure how to access them in 7 to add to or correct my
mailing list.

Default Mail merge recipient dialog box

In Word 2007, the first thing you have to do is select the name of the
data source in the box at the bottom left of the dialog box.

Then, depending on the type of data source, the Edit and Refresh buttons
may be ungreyed.

[FWIW the same dialog is used by MS Publisher, where they allow multiple
data sources, requiring you to specify which one you want to edit]
