Default Mailmerge using columns instead of rows

I want to use mailmerge with a lot of fields using excel. I will run out of
field columns if each record will use the rows to hold every record. Can I
use mailmerge by assigning the columns as the one to hold the records and
each row per column as the fields? I'm not sure if I can use access becuase
I have formulas that link to the data source for merging, so I don't know how
to link excel and access that when I change data in excel will automatically
update in access, if at all that's possible.
