Mail Merge using word 2003 with Excel - no data shows up after mer

have tried doing this several times and am at a loss. Need to do a mail merge
with the data coming from an Excel spreadsheet following the steps to
complete the merge no data shows up on preview just blank pages. What step am
I missing? The excel document does have headers in the first row to indicate
the fields(data type)

Did you nominate the type of merge that you wanted to perform? Did you
insert the merge fields into the mail merge main document? If you press
Alt+F9 in that document, what do you see?
