Word Mail Merge template does not automatically update/refresh data connection with database when opening

I have a Word mail merge template that gets data from a Master.xlsx file, but it does not update the connection automatically with the xlsx file when it's opened - it only shows the data that was in the xlsx file when the mail merge template was created 2 months ago.  I have to reconnect to the xlsx file every time I use the template to work with the most current data.

How can I make the Mail Merge template refresh the connection to the data file every time the mail nerge template is opened?
