Default How do I mail merge fields exceeding 255 characters from Excel to.

I am using the mail merge function to merge a large amount of data from an
Excel 2003 spreadsheet into a Word 2003 document.

It appears as though any Excel field which exceeds 255 characters gets cut
off at exactly the 255 character limit mark in the merging process.

How can I work around this problem? Perhaps it can be done through macros?
