No idea what you're doing wrong. Can't see your Excel workbook or your Word
document.

See these sites for help on mailmerge in Word with Excel as data source.

Note.........if you give your table a defined name you don't have to have
the worksheet first in the workbook.

BTW...........what you posted is not a suggestion.
