Which connection method are you using? Do you get all the characters if you use a different one? (If you don't know how to specify the connection method, check in the Word2002 section of my website's mail merge FAQ, where it talks about using the connection methods from earlier versions) > word and Excel XP-SP2 > > > > trying to merge from Excel to Word, excel field is > 256 > > > chars ... word only displays first 255 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Sep 30 2003) http://www.mvps.org/word This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Cindy apologies for the delay, I have been off-site and will look at your response this evening Many thanks Dave > Hi Dave, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow > question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-)
