The number of fields are only limited by the number of columns in the data
source which with Excel is 256. Did you insert all of the fields into the
mailmerge main document?

I am trying to produce a document in Word which uses data from Excel, the
data extends to column GA and there are 85 records. Data consists of text
and
then number and calculated numbers.
When I attempt to mailmerge, it only picks up columns up to W, basically
the
text columns. Is there a limit to the number of columns that can be
merged?

Thanks for any advice.
