Charactor Limits on Mail Merge from Excel
Does anyone know what the maximum charactor limits to a field from a mail
merge is in Word. I have several fields I am bring into Word from Excel 03 and they exceed 2000 charactors. If so is their a work around to this charactor limit? |

Charactor Limits on Mail Merge from Excel
From information posted by a fellow contributor, I understand that Word
looks at the first 8 or so records in the data source to determine the time of data. If there is no field in any of those 8 or so records that contains more than 255 characters, that field in all subsequent records will be truncated at 255 characters. -- 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 "Chuck Keller" Chuck wrote in message ...
