Problem if Excel Dokument is used for mail merge in Word (2000 and XP)

           Summary: Problem if Excel Dokument is used for mail merge in Word
                    (2000 and XP)
           Product: POI
           Version: 2.0-dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jaBernet@gmx.ch


When I attach an Excel-File generated using POI as datasource for a 
Word-Document there are no mail-merge-columns available to insert. I have to 
open the file in Excel and save it and then open the mail-merge-document in word 
again and then the data is visible. So there seems to be a small difference in 
the XLS generated by POI and the one generated by Excel which only affects Word.
