It's probably the problem described in

try the DDE option mentioned at the beginning of that.

I'm trying to merge short text cells (70 words aprox) from multiple
columns
in a Excel db to a single word file - it seems to work fine for names, and
alphanumeric sequences - but when it comes to the text, the merge will
only
pick up the text from the first column, and won't pick up the text - I
tried
importing the data into word as a table, and it wouldn'pick up the text
either - what am I doing wrong, is there anyway to merge text like this?
