Merge Problem
I have set up a merge project. Some of the cells in Excel contained too much
information and were truncated when I performed the merge in Word. I changed my conversion setting in Word to "confirm conversions at open box." This fixed the truncation problem, but created a new problem. My merge contains 612 separate related interest forms. At a certain point in the document, the forms are pulling related interests for one person into all of the forms below that person. Does anyone have any idea why? I did not have this problem before I changed my conversion preferences. |

Merge Problem
Hi ?B?QW15IEVkZWxlbg==?=,
I have set up a merge project. Some of the cells in Excel contained too much information and were truncated when I performed the merge in Word. I changed my conversion setting in Word to "confirm conversions at open box." This fixed the truncation problem, but created a new problem. My merge contains 612 separate related interest forms. At a certain point in the document, the forms are pulling related interests for one person into all of the forms below that person. Does anyone have any idea why? I did not have this problem before I changed my conversion preferences. Often, this indicates that either the mail merge document or the Excel data source file is damaged. Which version of Office are we dealing with, here?

Merge Problem
Cindy:
Your comment about a damaged file got me thinking. I knew that it was not the merge document because I created a new one and was having the same problem, so if a file was damaged, it would be the Excel file. I copied the entire Excel data source file and pasted it into a new document. This corrected the problem. Thanks for your help! "Amy Edelen" wrote: It is XP.
