Screenshot of the problem in Writer

When a Mail merge document is opened and there is data source information saved
in it, one may assume reopening it 

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Set up a mail merge document with the attachment 174941 [details] and
attachment 174942 [details]
    2. Make sure you can browse the items with the Mail merge toolbars Next /
Previous buttons
    3. Close and reopen the document.

Actual results:
Toolbar buttons are disabled, you need to click the First/Previous/Next/Last
record buttons to enable them: Edit Individual Documents, Save Merged
Documents, Print Merged Documents, Send Email Messages.

Expected results:
The four buttons should be active upon opening the document.
Internal testing showed that it’s not intuitive that you have to step among the
items before starting the actual merge.
It would be more intuitive to have these icons enabled by default and then they
should be able to open the data connection like the navigation buttons do when
the user clicks them. (also considering the bibisected issue in bug 121606)
