I think it is pretty good. I'm not sure about a number list though like jbcohen mentions, most instructions I've seen, especially when you're navigating a menu have been shown like you did with the > between them.
If you can do it I'd add screen shots through out, those are very helpful to people that may not be familiar with it.
The other thing I'd do is make clear breaks between the sections: create the main document, create the mail list, add the merge fields, and merge and finish. That helps to break it up a bit for the reader so it is not just one long list of instructions. Formatting like headers, bold, and italics helps with that too.
The only other thing you may want to do is remove the part about opening Office and creating and saving a document. I only suggest that because it is not part of the topic your teaching, it would make the instructions shorter, and can be easily referenced to an another source like you did with creating a document from scratch.
Finally, if you have the time, have some people run through them with you sitting there and them actually doing it on the computer to see how they work for them.
Good luck, let us know if you get an A!!
