Default Are there limits on the # of data fields that can merge into Word

I'm trying to merge a LOT of columns from excel into a mail merge document,
but it's only bringing over 15 colums, and I have about 50!

The limit is the maximum number of columns that you can have in Excel which
is 256 fields. If the data from only 15 of your fields is coming over, then
the problem must be something else - invalid field names for example.

Hope this helps.
