I've tried the DDE route. Word acts like I haven't selected a data file to
import. After reading your referenced site, I wonder if using a multi-page
worksheet is contributing to the problem. I'll strip it down and try again.

Try the DDE route first if you haven't already.

I have Office 2003, and I am having trouble merging an Excel file into a
Word
document. One field is quite long, and is truncated to 255 char in the
merge. I have installed the converter, and it is active. Conversion
causes
a fatal error.
I have the opportunity to upgrade to Office XP. I don't want to make the
shift, however, if it won't solve my problem. Does anyone have experience
with merging fields longer than 255 characters?
