Word XP & Excel PX
I am trying to merge an exel spread sheet as a data source
for a word letter. The problem is that only 10 lines of
data will merge for each record. Each merged record then
has 7 extra lines each consisting of a single 0. How do I
get the system to merge all lines of data (my maximum is
16 lines) and not print all these zeros. My merge fields
are designated "Line 1", "Line 2", etc up to "Line 16". My
merge letter in word accomodates all these merge fields.

I'm not sure it will solve this problem, but try changing the method Word
uses to connect to Excel. At the moment it is probably OLEDB. Check Word
Tools|options|General|"Confirm conversions at open", go through the process
of connecting to your spread sheet again, and select either DDE (probably
your best bet), ODBC, Converter instead.
