Is there a maximum size for the data in a mail merge field?

I created a mail merge document and everything works fine...  Except one mail
merge field is a field for a description.  It seems that if the description
is too long, it truncates the data.  Does anyone know if this is happening
because there is a maximum size for allowed data?  If so, is there a way to
increase this size?

Depends on the version of Word, and the amount of data.
