Yes, but I need to get to step 6 to do so. An option to avoid the
wizard in step 3 could prevent this.

Furthermore, the last step of the wizard saves the merged document.
What happens if I need to edit base document for any omission? Or
change the location of the fields?

All this I have raised are issues that arise in the school where I
work, where teachers are comfortable using MSOffice.
