Default Merge Excel to Word field extension

See http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0003.htm

You probably need to try the "DDE" method mentioned near the top.

I've had a problem with mail merging data from Excel into Word. It'll
take
over some of the data but can leave part of the information off. I have
just
come to the conclusion that this is because it will only take 255
characters
from a particular Excel cell to Word.
Can anyone help in either extending the amount of characters or some other
way to fix it??

Thanks in advance
Emily
