Default Mail Merge Error

Convert the text to a table in Word and merge again using the table as a
data source.

I exported my Entourage Address Book to a CSV file. When I do a data
merge, it comes up with an error that says: "Record 16 does not have
the same number as the first row in ContactsExport.csv. Ensure all
the records have the same number of fields."


So I deleted all columns after the last one with a header. I even
deleted row 16 and saved under a different file name, then reopened
in the data merge, and it came up with the same error. (FYI there are
1465 records/rows of contacts)

How do I fix this? Is the csv corrupted? I've tried exporting a
couple different times.
