I have used multiple description fields for mail merge operations. To keep
track of the actual characters in the Excel cells, I had an adjoining column
that contained the value =LEN(Q10) Where Q10 is cell containing the
"description1", and value =LEN(S10) where S10 is the cell containing
"description2"
