MS Excel 2002 10.2614.2625 / MS Word 10.2627.2625 / WinXP Pro SP2
I'm cataloguing DVD's for my company and have a number of fields for each DVD Pack. For example, one movie pack will have up to 10 individual titles in it, each individual title requires it own set of fields (Title, copyright, director, synopsis, etc..), and there may be 10 individual titles in one DVD pack. The problem is that I loose data when I import the information into a mail merge in Word. Let's say I have 10 titles on a page, the first 4 will be fine, but after that the synopsis will get cut off after two lines. And it's only the synopsis. All other fields through the next 6 DVDs are fine, no information loss there, it seems to specifically have a problem with long text fields, as if there is a word limit or something (even though they seem to be cutting off at different areas. I've checked the data source workbook and the entire text is there, but for some reason it's not being pulled by word. When I am in the mail merge Wizard and it asks me to select the recepient list, that is were I'm importing the data from my workbook, since I don't actually have any recipients. When the box comes up for me to check which one's I want I'll look though the information and THAT is where I notice that all synopsis after title 4, are cut off. Three of us have been trying to figure this out since Friday morning and we're about to take a hostage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
