Default Changes are not reflected when merging using Excel as data sou

1) Open excel data source, make changes to cells & hit save
2) Open word form and then click the icon "Merge to New Document"
3) Select all records & ok
4) Merge works, but changes aren't reflected. Only previous merged items
are merged into fields

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, please help!

Thank you,
Jen
