Default Mail Merge: Excel (XP) fields scrambled during merge

I have been trying to merge a newly created Excel XP database with a newly
created letter--but, I am witnessing a phenomenon I have never encountered
with Mail Merge. The Excel fields are coming in scrambled. That is, I set up
the fields in the following order: company, street, town, state, zip. But it
comes into the letter as: state, zip, company, street, town. And, no matter
what I do, I cannot correct it. This is the first time I have ever seen this.
Has anyone else ever seen it, and if so, how can it be corrected?
