I update monthly an Excel 2000 spreadsheet with 45 columns and about 1000
rows, and merge the new data into a Word 2000 document. This month I added a
new column to the spreadsheet and when I did the merge, several of the data
fields were placed in the wrong position in the merged document. For
example, the data from column headed AR merged into the position that should
contain data from BF. This was not just data from the new Excel column.

I tried repositioning the new data column within the spreadsheet and also
deleting it, so that only the columns I had worked with in previous months
were included. Same result, with some mail merge fields containing incorrect
data.

There have been no updates to the software in the prior month and I am at
rather a loss to know where to look next. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.
