I have created a document that I want to merge with data from an Excel
Document. I am a bit confused however.

I have both documents open and I'm updating information in the EXCEL doc,
but it's not showing up when I merge the docs together. Is there a
designated way to edit the source data in Excel so that it is displayed in
the merged document?

Thanks in advance,

Barb Reinhardt

You should update the Excel file before executing the merge.

I updated the EXCEL document and then executed the merge and some of the
changes weren't included. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
