Default Directory - Number of fields?

I need to print a directory of an Excel file. I have 15 fields that I want to print. There are only 13 fields shown in the list of fields to select. How can I get the other two fields to show up on the list to print?

Default Dropdown list of fields

I have 16 columns in my Excel Document. I use 13 of those columns to print labels. I want to print a membership directory using 15 of the 16 columns. Using Insert Merge Field I can only access 13 columns. I tried to use Match Field, but that only accesses 13 columns. How can gain access to the other two columns?

Why do I seem to be the only person limited to 13 columns in mail merge?

OK, I moved the rows around so that I didn't have to type in the phone number and e-mail addresses. I would only have to type in two columns one of 3 digits the other one 1 letter.

So now in mail merge instead of 13 columns I now have 11. Still do not have the phone number of e-mail addresses. Can anyone please tell me what is happening and how I can fix or avoid it?

I don't want to have to type in 280 names, addresses and other information.

Hi Nancy,

Do all the fields have heading names?

Someone helped me to transfer the database to Access 2007. The mail merge function works exactly the same as it does with Excel. That solved my problem. I still don't know what was wrong with the Excel database.
