Default Unable to see names in merge since upgrading to Word 2016

I'm creating a thank-you letter by merging a .csv file with a template that contains merge fields. This worked fine with Word 2010 but for some reason I can no longer see the recipient names, addresses, etc when I create my merge file.

With Word 2010 somehow I had it configured to show the LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME, etc fields, allowing me to deselect those recipients that I didn't want to send the letter to. OK, for now I leave them all selected and click Next>Write your letter>Preview. From here I can edit the recipient list, right? Wrong. Again I don't see names or addresses although my merge is OK

My data source is correct, and when I complete the merge, it looks good, so apparently my merge fields are OK. So how do I configure Word 2016 to show the merge fields so that I can deselect those names that I don't want in the final merge file?
