Mail Merge - Word could not ifinish inserting database
I am trying to complete a mail merge and I keep receiving the following
message: "Word could not finish merging these documents or inserting this database." My datasource is a csv file (.txt) with 2900 names but yet the system only merges 60 records and then the above message appears. I have tried to rebuild the letter and I get the same error. I have never received this message before and am not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks, in advance |

I got the exact same problem. Word stops merging when ther are more than 60
records. There must be a bug in Word. I can't find any solution to this problem.

I found a double quotation mark in record nr 61. This may be the problem. Se
article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188569 These problems are most likely caused by mismatched double quotation marks in a mail merge data source document. I will check this out with my customer who reported the problem. Hope this helps.
