Changes are not reflected when merging using Excel as data source
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 |

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 "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Please explain exactly what steps you are taking to execute the merge after having saved the Excel file. -- Hope this helps.
