Trying to merge my gradebook Excel into Word. Will handle up to about 62
columns, after that the column heading are pushed together when viewed under
the mail merge process of selecting the records. I have about 120 columns in
Excel. Using Office 2000 Premium Professional. I tried using Office XP and
the same occured.

It is not clear what you are trying to do, but the essential difference
between an Excel table and a Word table is that the latter is constrained by
the paper size, whereas the former isn't.

Word tables have a maximum of 63 columns (and as Graham says, you would
typically need a wide sheet for paper for that).

But is the problem somewhere else? I though you might mean that the columns
are pushed together in the "Mail Merge Recipients" dialog box, but Word 2000
doesn't have that dialog...
