Maximum Mailmerge capacity
Hello,
I'm producing a Mailmerge file for a customer mailout. What is the maximum record capacity word can cope with. I need to create a mail merge for approximately 30,000 records. Presumeably Word will not cope with this amount of data, so how many would be a viable choice? |

Maximum Mailmerge capacity
There have been reports of a performance hit with quite a bit smaller number
of records than that. I have no first hand experience, but the suggestions are that Word starts to choke with anything more than about 5,000 records at a time. -- 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 "Chainfire" wrote in message ...
