Add fields to data source

[Marion]

I created a mail merge document in Word 2002 using an excel spreadsheet as
the data source. I subsequently added some columns to the spreadsheet (new
fields). The field list in Word mail merge does not show the new fields. I
tried saving the excel file with a different name and linking the Word
document to a new data source, but Word only gives me the option to link to
the old excel file. How do I get Word mail merge to recognize the new fields
(columns) in the excel data source?

You can attach any data file to a merge document from the merge toolbar -
