automergefield

Why do I sometimes get "automergefield" as the name for all of the merge
fields when I create a mail merge: Word document merged to an excel database.

Each column in the database has a title but when I go to edit the merge
document, and enter the merge fields, all the fields are named
"automergefield1", automergefield2, etc.--none of the titles for each column
shows up.

Are the titles definitely on the first row of the sheet (i.e. Row A)? Which
version of Word?
