Using Access w/Word Merge (Access 2002)

I inserted a column in a data table for expiration date. While writing a
merge letter where I wanted to insert that information I discovered it didn't
show up in the Merge Fields. Should I have instead renamed an existing
column (field) and moved it where I wanted it on the data table?

I deleted all extraneous column/fields, so I don't have an empty field to
utilize. Must I create a new database or is there a way to identify this new
column as a data field?

How are you getting the data into your merge document?
Query from Word, Access query, VBA?

A standard mail merge process in Word.

While setting up the letter, I'm able to insert the address and greeting
blocks, but when I access Insert Merge Field, the Expiration column is not
given as an option.
