Default Word 2003 Mail Merge from Excel spreadsheet database

I recently upgraded to Word 2003. I am using a template and an Excel
database which I have used before to mail merge labels. However, when I
select the database for merging in Word 2003, I get the following options:
OLE Database Files
Excel Worksheet via Converter
MS Excel Worksheets via DDE
Excel Files via ODBC

I have been selecting converter, because i don't know what any of the others
mean. However, the final merge document is only one page, even though all
258 names on the spreadsheet are selected. Can anyone help? Why can't I use
the spreadsheet in its original form as I was able to do in Word 2000.
Thanks.
