Why is the WORD mail merge truncating information?
I have a prayer list set up in excel that I merge into a Word document. It
is truncating a part of some of prayer request fields. Is there a limit to the amount of characters that can merge? |

Hi ?B?S3Jpc3RpbmVC?=,

Which version of Office are you using?

Hi ?B?S3Jpc3RpbmVC?=,
Word 93 I assume you were in a hurry and actually mean Word 2003 (93 might mean Word 6.0, but I doubt it...) In the Word 2002/2003 section of my site's MailMerge FAQ there's a discussion about changing how Word connects. See if you can get Word to connect using DDE, instead. I have a prayer list set up in excel that I merge into a Word document. It is truncating a part of some of prayer request fields. Is there a limit to the amount of characters that can merge? Which version of Office are you using?
