Thumbs up Answer: Remove character limit in mail merge fields.

I understand your frustration with the character limit in mail merge fields. Unfortunately, this is a limitation that is built into Microsoft Word and cannot be removed. However, there are a few workarounds that you can try to bypass this limitation.
  1. One option is to split the data into multiple fields and then merge them together in the document. For example, if you have a long address field, you can split it into separate fields for street address, city, state, and zip code. Then, in the document, you can use the merge fields to combine them into a single address field.
  2. Another option is to use a third-party add-in or plugin that can extend the functionality of Microsoft Word. There are several add-ins available that can remove the character limit in mail merge fields and provide additional features and customization options.
