Default Mail Merge - Fields missing within "insert merge field" tab

Hi Jenniclair,

I did wonder whether the excel document was corrupted

Yes, that's the next thing I'd test. Assuming the worksheet
has less than 56 columns, you should be able to copy/paste
it into a Word document, as a Word table. Can you do that,
and do all the columns (and rows) come across? If yes, and
you link to this as the data source, do you get everything?

If an Excel sheet is corrupt, you could end up carrying the
problem across by copying/pasting the cells. The better
"test" is to export/save to a delimited text file format.
Then import the result into a new Excel workbook.
