Hello. I have a simple question... Is there a maximum number of fields that
Word can merge and, if so, what is this limit? Thank you.

There may be no limit from the Word end.  If the data source is either Excel
or Access, you will be limited to around 255 fields.  That number can be
exceeded if the data source is a text file.
