Default Indicate a mailmerge record number before launching Word?

Using office 2003:

I have an Excel spreadsheet that is the source data for several
mailmerge documents. Within the spreadsheet, I have links to each of
these mailmerge documents. I would like to customize these links to
make word open the document AND select a designated record number for
the mailmerge. (I'll have a link to the word document for each row of
data, and by clicking on the right link, I'll pull up that same row's
data on the merged Word document.

Another way of asking this is this: Are there command line parameters
or VBScript commands that will allow a variable to be inserted into a
mailmerge template's record number?

I suspect I may need to alter the word document (change the record
number) before it is opened each time.

Switching to Access instead of Excel is not an option here.
