Excel vs. Word Mail Merge

C

christina

I received an excel file via e-mail from a co-worker. I
then saved it on my computer to prepare for a mail merge
using word. I first had to create a column of first name
only from an existing column of first and last name.
After that I created a letter in word and then preformed a
mail merge and sent out the letters. One of the
recipients of these letters brought the letter in and it
had incorrect information. I then compared my saved list
to the original e-mailed list. Five of the names have
been switched around. Please help me figure out what
happened to the lists and how to prevent this from
happening again, thanks.
