Missing fields
Whenever I add new columns of data to an Excel file data source the merge
document in Word won't recognize it. I've tried several different things, even created new documents and the new data still won't show up as a merge field to insert. If anyone know how to resolve this, please let me know. Thank you, Ruth |

Make sure there are no "hidden columns" in Excel before the new columns you
inserted. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Ruth Protpakorn" wrote in message ...

Missing fields
I had this same problem and found that I had another worksheet in the same
Excel workbook which had some duplicate field names to my targeted sheet for the mail merge. The Word mail merge seemed to be only looking the first sheet it found. I removed the first sheet from that file and then the merge worked fine. Also, you may want to try saving your data in a list so that the columns will always be included in your data list. The list boundary autmatically expands when you add columns to the worksheet. I hope this helps!
