How can I merge a letter with a excel data source where the first row
is data, not a header row. I have unchecked the box (First row of
data contains column headers, however, that did not change and Word
used the first row as column headers.

Word needs something to use as column headers, so either you have to add a
row to the datasource to contain them or use a header file.
