Default PLEASE HELP - CHANGED DATA NOT MERGING

I am performing mail merge in Microsoft Word, with an excel worksheet as the
data source. The merge function works fine, but whenever I make changes in
the excel worksheet, the new changes in the worksheet are not reflected in
the Word form, only the previously saved changes are shown. I am saving the
excel worksheet after making the changes. I can't figure out why my changes
are not shown in Word when I perform merge.

I have the excel sheet associated with the word form as the data source.
Here are the steps I'm performing:
1) open excel sheet & make changes, then save
2) open word form hit icon "Merge into New Document"
3) Merge performs w/previous info not new changed data

The only way to get the new data to be merged is if I select the data source
each time I want to perform merge. What Iam I doing wrong?



Thank you,
Jen
