Setting up a link to a database for a Mail Merge Document in 2013

We have multiple Word Documents for which I created links to data in Access databases using Mail Merge. I did this in earlier versions but we've "upgraded" to Office 2013, and now I can't figure out how to do it. I can find the mail merge drop down menu, but I can find nowhere that it allows you to connect to external data sources. SOME of the previous documents still work so I'm pretty sure the functionality exists but I can't find it, and the only Help screens I've been able to find for mail merge only show you how to set up internal lists. Can someone tell me how I get to it now?
Thanks.
 
On the Mailings Tab, choose Select Recipients>Use Existing List, then navigate to the data source.
