Default Record or Page Limits for Word Mail Merge?

Thanks for the replies guys. We are importing fields from an Excel
spreadsheet. Also, does disabling Spellcheck and viewing of picture objects
during the mail merge enhance performance (ie reduce errors like this) ?

Hi ?B?RS1Eb3VibGU=?=,

Are there any practical record or page limits for MS Word Mail Merge? For
some reason whenever we try to use the Mail Merge on forms with more than 500
records/pages we get 'out of memory' errors on Word 2003 or 'the file is too
large' errors on Word 2007 - even on high-end machines with 4GB of ram.

Officially, no, no limits.

You might want to ask this in the more specialized word.mailmerge.fields
newsgroup. Be sure to mention what kind of data source is involved.
