Default Merge Problem

It is XP.

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?
