Default Mail Merge - Excel as Datasource

I have created my Word mail merge, and have successfully
linked my Excel document as my datasource. However, when I
run the merge, it is putting the person's last name in the
first name field, and leaving the last name field blank. I
don't even know how I got it to put in the last name.

Any help is appreciated.

Which version of Word are we dealing with?
