Default fix field length in a cel

Hello,

I'am using a 'mergefield' statement in a Word XP table wich takes out data
from a SQL server database. The contents of this field can be as long as 20
caracters. The problem however is that in Word I only need the first 7
caracters. How can make the cel formatting the tekst this way ?

Thanks in advance

Hein
