Yes, it always happens at entry 52. the only thing that i can see
off hand is that the information starts becomes alpha numeric instead
of just numeric at that point, but even so, not all the information
in that particular field remains alpha numeric after entry 52. there
are other fields that merged correctly after 52 that are alpha
numeric. problem only happens for one column.

Perhaps the Excel file changes something at that row?

Hello,
I'm using the merge function to generate a letter on Word using
data from an
Excel sheet. I've gotten all the fields in and when i merge to the
document
it seems to complete all, except that half way through all the
letters I generate, one piece of data starts to turn out "0". all
the other information from the entry is merged successfully so i
don't understand why
not just this one particular piece. this only happens after 50 or
so letters, before that it merges with all the information
perfectly.

thank you in advance.
