mail merge cut off or truncating 255 word limit
here is a good solution ms word 2003 (and probably works for other versions)
for mail merges using an excel database (just an excel spreadsheet with your merge information) in microsoft word 2003, with any document open, go to tools, options click the general tab check "confirm conversion at open" exit microsoft word restart microsoft word connect your merge document to your database (excel spreadsheet/ms word document with table) when you do this, it will ask you to "Confirm Data Source"--choose MS Excel Spreadsheets via DDE it will now show all of the information in the spreadsheet. why microsoft doesn't make this the default is beyond me. it has taken me 5 years to figure this out and i consider myself a pretty knowledgable user. |
