I have created a document in Word, that has a few fields. I have attached a "database" containing the needed information. It is an Excel spreadsheet. Everything runs smoothly. All fields update. However, when I click on the edit recipient list and uncheck the select all, then select individual records and click ok, ALL records still go through when I click finish merge and print.

I understood that selecting recipients would ONLY merge the records I selected and ignore any that were not checked.

Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Provided only the records you want to merge are checked (the checkbox at the top of the column should also be unchecked), those should be the only records in the final output.
