Default Mail Merge pick up 2nd row containing Titles from Excel Worksheet

Delete the first row of the spreadsheet would be the best thing to do.

This is a simple question but I can't remember how to do this. First
of all I am using Microsoft Word 2003. What I am trying to do is a
mail merge from an excel worksheet. Normally I have no problems doing
this but unfortunately the worksheet I was given does not have the
Title row as the first row instead the Title row is on the second row.

When I select the recipient list I go "browse" then I select the Excel
worksheet and I make sure to uncheck the box that says "First row of
data contains header columns". But the mail merge is still picking up
the first row as the title of the columns.

How do I change the mail merge so that it picks up the second row as
the column titles?

Thanks in advance
