mail merge in Office Binder

[Dawnit]

Help! Is it possible to perform a mail merge with documents in a Binder?

My binder has a form protected Word document with form fields and an excel workbook.

I would like to merge info from excel into the word fields. I can do this when these docs are not in the binder, but WHEN THEY ARE IN THE BINDER, mail merge doesn't seem to be an option.

I would really appreciate a solution!

Thanks!
