Default Remove character limit in mail merge fields.

Hi ?B?YmhvZGdl?=,

There should be no character limit with merge field data. There is no reason
why it should be limited.

What limit are you running into? As far as I know, there was no limit until the
first release of Word 2000. And from Service pack 1 on, that limit was
increased to some 32,000+ characters. Hard to imagine text coming into a mail
merge that's over this limit?
