Default Mail merge has reached its data source limit?

You could create a "roll-your-own" equivalent to mail merge that used
docvariable fields in place of merge fields and made use of VBA code to
iterate through the datasource, setting the values of document variables to
the values in each field of the current record and saved the document before
moving on to the next record and doing the same thing.

In creating a large mail merge (data source has approx 700 columns) it
appears that it has reached it's limit - I cannot select the applicable
columns after 600 odd from the insert merge field list.

Apart from splitting the document into multiple files with multiple data
sources is there any other solution?
