Default Updating Data Source

I am making mailing labels using mail merge in Word. If i update my data
table of addresses/contacts etc. in Excel, will my Word document
automatically update? Or, do i need to re-do the mail merge manually, once i
have added a new contact in Excel? HELP!!

Default Updating Data Source

You have to redo the mail merge.

As long as you save your Mail Merge Main Document, it should be fairly easy
to do, because you don't have to lay out the fields/text in your labels
again, and (probably) don't have to reconnect to your data source).
