truncated merge fields
Hello --
I create reports in Word 2002 with data merged from Excel 2002. I set up the reports with the Mail Merge menu options in Word. Merge fields truncate after 255 characters. Strangely enough, report fields _used to_ merge completely, even if cell contents in data source were quite lengthy. Now it has stopped working for some reason. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Thanks Tferro |

truncated merge fields
From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then go to the General tab
and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. Then when you attach the data source to the mailmerge main document, you will be asked for the method by which the connection should be made. Try the DDE method. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "tferro" wrote in message oups.com...
