Default mail merge from excel data source

I have mailing lists in excel spread sheets, that are updated monthly. I
mail merge using word for either labels or letters. On occassion, when I
browse to choose an existing list, the mail merge recipitents table will come
up. Other times I get a table that I cannot choose my listing. The window
heading is "select a table." It wants me to choose a workbook
(c:/documents.....) but when I click on one, the cancel button highlights.
Sometimes I can get by this glitch by copying data into a listing that I know
works, but is there some option that needs to be addresses, a sharing glitch
or something.
