Default insert merge code in excel document

I want to set up a checklist to use for auditing activities. I will print
out a sheet for each company. however, I want to insert the name of the
company at the top of each sheet. Can i insert a merge code in the header of
an excel document.
Thank you.

AFAIK, you cannot use mail merge with Excel. However, if you are printing
these sheets, I do not see why you could not use a table in Word for the
purpose.

Thanks. Is there a way for me to use the completed Excel worksheet without
cutting and pasting.

I think cutting and pasting is going to be the simplest thing for you to do.

The only other alternative that I can think of is to use a macro in Excel
that would iterate through a list of the company names, to insert them one
at a time into the desired cell on the worksheet and print it out.
