Problem with mail merge

[Monica :)]

I have been trying to mail merge a list of firstnames, surnames, addresses,
suburbs and postcodes from exel onto a document in word. I go through all the
steps in the mail merge wizard and at the end my letter ends up with a list
of surnames, addresses and postcodes (no first names and suburbs!). I have
tried selecting the information and setting it as the print area on the exel
sheet but does not seem to change anything. Does anyone have any ideas
please???

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TW9uaWNhIDop?=,

We first need to know which version of Word we're dealing with? The
functionality changed rather radically going into Office XP (Word 2002).
