Default Excel Word Mail Merge

Working with Office 2003, I am trying to merge data from an EXCEL file to use
in a WORD doc. and getting an intermittent fault. In all, I have 55 column
headings in my EXCEL workbook but when I try to merge these into my WORD doc
only 49 of them appear in the 'Insert Merge Field' tab and in the document.
I have tried using simple letters instead of full words as column headings
(e.g. "A" through to "BC" instead of "Surname", "Address" etc.) and there are
no hidden columns or spaces before the letters. On occasions I do get all the
required merge fields but only after closing down and starting the programme
again.
I azm merging using DDE as I want to preserve the formatting from the EXCEL
file.
Can anyone help, please?
