You should use this space to tell us what type of data source you are using.

However, you can always use your existing data source with a directory type
mail merge main document in which you have a one row table into the cells of
which you insert the mergefields. Then when you execute that merge to a new
document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each
record in the data source. You can then insert a row at the top of that
table and into the cells of that row, insert the names of the merge fields
(not the mergefields themselves). You can then edit and save that document
for use as a data source.
