Default using MailMerge in Word, source is Excel file, can't see new cols

Used an excel file to create labels last month. then modified the file,
adding a column of info. Now when I select that file as my source, it
appears in Word mail merge as if the new column doesn't exist.

Try re-attaching the data source to the document. You may need to display
the mailmerge toolbar (ViewToolbars Mailmerge) and then using the first
button on the Toolbar, change the document type to a normal Word document,
Save it, then change it back to a Label type document and then attach the
data source.
