sometimes, however, I've found that Word doesn't recognize them, so all you
have to do in Excel is make them bold or something so Word will then see
them as different from the data.  But, no, there are no special names you
have to use.  I always use Excel for my data source for Word mail merges and
I name my headings all kinda weird names.
