1) the 'original' document you add the fields to is the merge format document.

2) the second document with the info (either in Word table or Excel spreadsheet) is your info source document.

3)When you merge, a third document is created which blends the info of the first two documents.

A mail-merge filing label example I've created:
- Word doc. with table formatting and Merge/Word fields - allows to play with formatting and positioning more easily than with Excel
- Excel spreadsheet with column titles such as"
0 Main Subject
0 Subject 2
0 Site number
0 Label (yes/no switch for picking records)
- Resultant Word doc. when I run mail merge using the Label field value to pick records/rows to include.

(too lazy to HTML this)
