MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004Mail Merge problem with Access memo field
I am doing a mail merge with a Access DB that has a memo field. I am restricted to 255 characters in Word 2000. The entire memo field will not show up on my mail merge. Any suggestions? Hi Joanne, > I am doing a mail merge with a Access DB that has a memo > field. I am restricted to 255 characters in Word 2000. The > entire memo field will not show up on my mail merge. This restriction was expanded to something like 32000 or 64000 characters in one of the Service Packs (I think it was SP-1). So you need to download and install that. Or, if I recall correctly, you can use an ODBC connection instead of DDE to get around the limit.
