There should be no need to redo the merge document. Simply re-attach the
data file. You can easily do this from the merge toolbar - see

I am using Word 2003. I have been using a letter that merges from a
second word document for 2 years. I could open the form letter and
it automatically linked to the source doucument that I previously
updated. I could then click on merge to new doucument and have my
new updated letter automatically.
After a recent upgrade, I am forced to go through each of the mail
merge steps to do the same thing. My letter has all the fields, but
it is not attached to the source document. I have tried creating a
new merge document and attaching the source document, but I get the
same result.
I am forced to create a new document, link it to the old source file,
etc.
I never had to do this with the prior version.
What is the solution?
