How do I edit a record in Access 2003 from a Word 2003 mail merge

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP. When I do a mail merge from Word, and
select Mail Merge Recipients from the mail merge toolbar, it brings up a list
of records from my Access database. However the edit box is greyed out and I
am unable to edit or delete any records without actually going into the
Access database separately. Can anyone help please?
 
Sounds like you might get more help in the WORD newsgroup. I'm assuming the
edit box that is grayed out is in WORD, not ACCESS?

Someone here may know, but I bet you would get a faster response in the Word
newsgroup.
 
The edit box that is greyed out pops up when I am in Word, but it is in the
same window that shows all the Access records. I will try the Word group.
Many thanks.

My guess is that this is the way it is supposed to behave. I suspect that
Word is only taking a "spanshot" of the data,...it wouldn't do any good to
edit the "snapshot".
