While it is true that one can add a keyboard shortcut for the "classic" form
letter printing (AKA mail merge) with Tools - Costomize... - Keyboard -
Category: Documents - Function: Mail Merge, and an icon to a toolbar with Tools
- Costomize... - Toolbars - Add... - Category: Documents - Commands: Mail Merge,
this surely is poor usability: I would expect to find the correspondent icon at
least in the Visible Buttons menu of the Standard or Table Data toolbar.

So, to bypass the mailmerge wizard, you can costomize the toolbars, which
requires to know exactly what you are looking for, or to call File - Print...,
and to answer the question "Do you want to print a form letter?" with yes, which
requires to know exactly what you are doing. Either way is not very 
"intuitive". 

Furthermore, as issue 65071 describes, there is no way to recover the mail merge
question in the printing dialogue, if you erraneously checked the "Don't show
this warning again" option.

My vote for having an entry for the "classic" form letter printing AKA mail
merge in the menu by default (File menu, near Print?), and having a
correspondent icon in the toolbar (Standard or Table Data?), even if the icon
were not visible by default.
