Default

Set the merge document type to normal word document.
Select Word Options > Advanced > General > Confirm file format conversion on open. Then when you re-attach the data source to the mail merge main document, you will be given the option of selecting the connection type. Check 'Show all' and pick the option to connect to Excel using the DDE method of connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in the table.

Do however note that DDE can be somewhat unreliable and normally is best avoided.
