Deciding when to use a separate header source
When to use a header source In most cases, you'll probably want to list the data field names in a separate header record at the beginning of your data source. However, you may want to include the field names in a separate header source in the following cases:
- When you use several data sources. By using a single header source, you won't have to repeat or change the header record in each data source, or change the merge field names in the main document.
- When a data source doesn't contain a header record, or when field names in the header record don't match the merge field names in the main document. If you can't add or edit a header record in the data source (for example, because the data source is read-only), you can use a separate header source that contains the field names you want.
Rules for using a header source When you use a separate header source, keep the following rules in mind:
Include the same number of field names in the header source as there are data fields in the data source.
List the field names in the header source in the same order as the corresponding information in the data source.
If both the header source and the data source are stored in a text file, use the same character (either a tab character () or a comma) to separate the data fields in the header source and data source.
If you've already inserted merge fields in the main document, use the same field names in the header source. If the field names and merge fields don't match, change the field names in the header source or replace the merge fields in the main document.

Use a separate header source
Learn about using a separate header source.
Make sure that you’ve already set up the main document and selected a data source.
Learn about setting up a mail merge.
If you don't see the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, click anywhere in the main document, and then click Mail Merge on the Tools menu.
Under Data source, click Get Data, and then click Header Options.
Open or create a header source.
Note If you have an existing data source that contains a header record, you can use it as a header source. Microsoft Word will ignore the data records in the data source, and use only the header record as the header source.
