I'm not very familiar with Mac versions of Office but...
1. Which version of Word/Excel?
2. What sort of "shape" of content does your Excel workbook have (e.g. 1000s
of rows with 10s of columns?) Does it have any data outside the main block?
If so, if you copy /paste the main block into a new workbook and merge from
that, is there an improvement?
3. As an immediate workaround, you may be able to copy/paste your Excel data
into Word and use that as your data source.
