maximum number of fields allowed in a merge
This post is not a suggestion.
There may be some limitations imposed by the way in which Word connects to an Excel spreadsheet that will limit the number of fields. I can't imagine a mail merge requiring that many fields and I wouldn't spend the time creating one with more that 256 fields just to find out. I understand however, that if the data source is a .csv file, then there can be more that 256 fields. Given that, you could always save your Excel file in .csv format if you really need to do this and you cannot use Excel directly. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "afswa" wrote in message ...
