I found temp by-pass solutions for this.... MS still need to fix the bugs, hope this will help for now: First, work on Access database file then open your Word doc for Merge:
- In Word, go click Mailings tab > Start Mail merge > Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard
- (Step 1 of 6): choose Document Type > Next
- (Step 2 of 6): Choose Starting Document: Use the current document > Next
- (Step 3 of 6): click Browse (select recipient list file) [ go open the current Access database source file] and select the data you wish to merge> ok ; select merge recipients > ok; > Next
- (Step 4 of 6): Modify etc if needed > Next
- (Step 5 of 6): Complete the merge > Next
- (Step 6 of 6): check on "Edit individual letter" > check page you want to print or All > OK
- Review, edit, save it, print.
- Closed Access all pop up windows.
Hope this will help for now.

Edit: Later that day they updated the support article.
