How to use SharePoint as a Mail Merge Source

I was looking for how to perform a mail merge using a SharePoint list as a source and found Wayne’s post asking the same question.  There wasn’t help there, however, amongst the comment was on from Yatin Purohit indicating that you could link to the SharePoint list as a table in Access and then use the Access table as a source for Word to use in a mail merge.  It’s a pretty useful technique — too bad there’s not an OLEDB driver for SharePoint lists. I suppose this will work for now.
