MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004Word mailmerge character limit
I have recently upgraded from word/Excel 97 to Wrod/Excel xp. After creating a data file in Excel I merged into word with no problems. After upgrading to xp, I can now only merge 255 characters. The rest of my fields merge properly. Could anyone please help with this very frustrating problem.

See the discussion in this message thread From: "dave munday" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> Subject: Excel _> Word Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2004 04:28:02 -0800 Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields Note that I was not able to reproduce the problem. But if Word 97 was working for you, look in the Word 2002 section of my website's mail merge FAQ, on how to use older connection methods. Try using DDE, instead of the new OLE DB default to connect to your Excel workbook.
