Default Mail merge fails in 2003

I have a Word document (target) I want to mail merge with an excel sheet
(source). I have followed the 6 prompts in the mail merge wizard in Word.
but when I come to step 5 (Preview your letters) the data from Excel doesn't
show in the address block that I inserted in Word for step 4.
The data certainly shows up when I "edit recipient list" in step 3 and I
have checked the boxes for the recipients I want. What am I missing?

An IT guy here at work said to make sure there was no blank in the first
cell of the column but I tried this but no luck
