Adding Mail Merge Fields

[Monica G]

Why can't I add more than 5 fields to a form letter? I an using an Excel
spreadsheet as my data source. When I go to "Insert Merge Fields" it gives me
a dropdown menu but lists only 5 AutoMerge Fields. How do I add another one?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Add another data column to your data file and re-attach it to the merge
document.

Does your spredsheet have a header row containing labels ("column names")
for each column - e.g. "Firstname", "Lastname" or whatever? It sounds as if
it might not have column names, in which you need to insert some. When you
connect to your data source, if there any questions about "assuming the
first row of the data is a header" or some such, make sure you give the
appropriate response.
