Error Message: "Word could not finish merging these Documents or Inserting

The following link is the result of a Knowledge Base search on the error
message. Check the articles and see if the causes in any of them could apply
to your situation

From a quick perusal, I'm wondering if the document generated by Paradigm may
contain invalid characters or something along those lines?

You were right. There were quotation marks ( " ) in some of incoming data.
The Knowledge Base 0038 error indicates this is invalid data.
