Default How do I find the Source folder?

Hope someone can help.

I've taken over managing a system for someone - and it has a lot of Word Documents that have been created as merge templates - expecting a 'merge.txt' to be available containing the fields for the merge.

What I dont know is where the merge.txt is supposed to live - ie which folder. Tried it in the same as the Word.dot documents but just get a 'Data Source Name not found..." error.

How can I tell from a document where it is expecting its data source to be ?

If I open the document and select the 'Open Data Source' icon then I can point to it and change it - but there are hundreds of these and i'd rather just find out where it expects things to be.

Help appreciated.

Phil
