I am merging an Excel '03 workbook into Word '03 simply using first and last
name, the names appear correctly, but it started at row 42 and jumps around
in no particular order when merging. How can I have the merge start with row
1 and move to row 2 etc.? Thank you.

In what order are the records presented when you open the Recipients dialog box?

If they're also in this "funny order" is it possible that you once chose the
"Advanced" option from a dropdown list (arrow next to any field name) and set a
Sort order?
