How to reapply the source to an existing document?

[gtop]

I created a simple address sheet using excel. However when I update the list
in excel and go to the document that I "merged" - I do not know how to
reapply the new information that was added to the original excel file.The
old word document does ont include the new information (addresses).

Any help approciated.

I'm not sure what you are doing but what you should be doing is
a. create a mail merge main document that creates your address sheet, and
save it
b. each time you need an updated address sheet, re-open that document and
re-execute the merge (at the moment you may be just re-opening it and
previewing it).

I did re-excute the merge but the document just prints what the old merge
had. Using XP Office.

In that case, have you tried reconnecting to the data source?

(FWIW with any luck you can save paper by merging to a new document first
and verifying that the output contains what you need before printing)
