Mail Merge of 97 & 2003 docs into 2007

We have a bunch of mail merge documents that were created in 97 or 2003 which
do not work with 2007. They are 2 Word documents, one of which is the
datasource consisting of a table of "merge fields", the other is the letter.
When you open the Main doc (the letter) you had a toolbar button called Data
form where you entered the information to merge together for each letter. For
example Name, address, city, state, zip, etc. Once the Data forms were
filled in you clicked on the View Merged data (abc button) and there was all
the information you input merged into the letter. You could then merge to
printer or a new document. Well, in 2007 I cannot find the Data form button
to input the information to merge. Can anyone please help???!!!

I figured it out with your help. If I go to Edit Recipient List, highlight
the Datasource, and click Edit, it brings up the Data Form my end users are
used to seeing. It's just one more step but a heck of a lot easier than
having to rebuild 100 plus docs which is what I was beginning to think I was
going to have to do. Whew!! Thanks for your help!
