Thank you for the answer Tony and Catalin,
such behavior in Word is quite misleading! that the data in row number 2 refers to page 2 in word (example)!!!
- the idea of Tony is good as work around! but still will affect the main Word document
- the second idea is to add another column to the excel file to make the data in the row number are identical to the number of page in word!
- I'm wondering why "unchecking" the "first row of data contains column heading" doesn't affect the Word behavior! such that row number 1 refers to page number one!!!! (ATTACHED)
