Mail merge data source recipient list edit button issue

I pasted this information in the address information box as soon as you open Microsoft Word Label Wizard. I adjusted the font, and there is a button that indicates label entire page or one by one. Just choose the one by one. Then use Mailmerge to bring in the original spreadsheet.

Mail merge data source recipient list edit button issue

I have a document that we are trying to mail merge with a data source (access database) for a mass mailing. When you go into the 'recipient list' from the mail merge toolbar the edit button is grayed out. (It is the only button grayed out) I can't seem to figure out why it is grayed out. The permissions on the database that is being used as a data source is correct, as is the folder that it is stored under. Any ideas why this is happening? It seems to happen to everyone that attempts to use it (Not limited to one specific person)
Thanks.

  1. Open word, choose a new blank document. The Mail Merge Manager will then open. Select “Create New” and choose “Form Letters” if you want to send an email. In the main Word document write out your email. You can merge fields into your document here to personalise it. For example, you may want to write Dear “clients name”.
  2. And you do it this way in Word 2011. Choose Tools - Mail Merge Manager. A small Mail Merge Manager window will appear. This window contains six steps, all of which you march through in order to.
