To be used as a mailmerge data source, I am (99.999%) sure that the first
row in the spreadsheet must contain the field names and that the data must
commence immediately in the next row. It sounds like your data may be
otherwise arranged.

When I attempt to do a mail merge from excel to word I get as far as
select
recipients, I pick the print area of the spreadsheet I'm working with. It
gives me table which is blank and it changes the file name I am working
with.
What am I doing wrong
