Default Mail Merge - table connection

Word 2003
All goes as you outlined. However, after I've selected my excel file from
"My Data Source", I choose a "Table". The content of the table appears to be
the original excel data rather than the updated excel data. It looks like
the "table" (excel data) somehow remains attached to the word document and
does not retrieve the data from the new excel document.

What vesion of Office are you on? There should be a 'browse' function to
allow you to change to a different file or database.

Word 2003-using the Mail Merge Wizard, it should be on Step 3 of 6.

Word 2007-when you click to 'select recipients', you click on 'use existing
list'. You should get a display that allows you to search for a different
file or database. It will default 'My Data Source' but you can search other
folders.

I'm trying to create a new set of letters, using a word document which has
had a previous mail merge. I can't get the new excel name-address list
connected to the letter model. It keeps listing the previous table of
name/addresses.
Thought/suggestions?

Thanks,
