C USTOMIZING C OLUMNS IN A R ECIPIENT L IST  D ISCUSSION When creating a data source, Word provides a variety of pre-defined fields. Each field is identified by a label called a field name. Select the fields you want to include in your data source.

Fill in as much information as possible in your data source. Later in the process, you can select exactly which fields to include in the current mail merge. The more complete the data source, the more useful it is for future mail merges.

Customize the data source by adding, deleting, or renaming fields. Word also allows you to rearrange the field order.
