HOW LARGE CAN A MAILMERGE DATA SOURCE BE?
Is there an upper limit on the number of records that mail merge can handle
from a text or delimited file? |

I do not think there is a pre-defined limit, other than the fact that files
in Windows cannot exceed a defined (but very large) limit, but there are various possible practical limits, e.g. a. in Word 2002/2003, it can take a very long time to load large text data when you connect to the data source - even a few thousand records can cause problems b. even when you output "directly" to a printer, the output is not split into jobs, one for each letter or record in the data source - the entire output is one job which has to be handled by the print spooler Other than that, things are more likely to depend on the length of the records in the text file and the complexity of the mail merge main document.
