Default Issue with mail merge excel

Using Office 2003 on a XP pro machine. Both are patched and up to date.
When trying to use mail merge to create mailing labels, the Word merge
operation doesn't find any of the data in the Excel wks.

The second phase of the merge operation is to define a data source. I
change the bottom look up parameter to "Excel File" and click on the Excel
file I want to use. Next step is to select the source sheet in the wks. file
(MS call is a "Table"). after clicking as needed. The merge doesn't find
any data.

The excell file is proplerly configured and was used regularly with MS
Office 2000 with out issue.

Thanks and have a good holiday season!

You can either re-apply the old converter (removed by the up to date
patching) which is linked from the downloads page of my web site, or you
could take a look at the Excel data section of
