And is there any maximum number of columns
when using a comma delimited text file?

Depending on the version, the maximum number of columns for a Word table
is
31 or 64, the latter with XP and 2003. With Excel or Access, it's 255 or
256. If that's not enough, you can use a comma delimited text file.

I have a document in which I cannot add additional fields because of an
error
message which says I have reached the maximum number of columns for a
Mail
Merge. I didn't know there was a maximum, and I can't seem to find it
in
the
Help screens. Can anyone tell me the maximum in Word, and whether I
can
exceed that if I switch to Excel as my data source?
