Merge data fields
I am completing a mail merge document that I have used repeatedly, however
some of the data fields are not showing up in my Word doucment. It gives an error message and says they are not there. The data file is in Excel. All of the fields are recognized except for about 10. Is there a limit to the number of data fields that can be used? How can I get them to recognize the data fields again? I'm using Word and Excel 2002 Thanks for your help. -- Valerie |

Merge data fields
Hi ?B?VmFsZXJpZQ==?=,
I am completing a mail merge document that I have used repeatedly, however some of the data fields are not showing up in my Word doucment. It gives an error message and says they are not there. The data file is in Excel. All of the fields are recognized except for about 10. Is there a limit to the number of data fields that can be used? How can I get them to recognize the data fields again? I'm using Word and Excel 2002 There's no limit to the number of fields you can use from Excel, no. What, EXACTLY, does the error message say?

Merge data fields
Cindy:
It tells me that there is no data field with that name, even though the field (named exactly as it should be) is in the Excel spreadsheet. Also, when you click on the data fields icon to bring up the list of available fields, it doesn't show all of the data fields in the spreadsheet. Does that help any? Thanks for your reply. -- Valerie "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?VmFsZXJpZQ==?=, I am completing a mail merge document that I have used repeatedly, however some of the data fields are not showing up in my Word doucment.
