MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2005Memo field truncated in mailmerge
I have a mailmerge with a memo field that seems to be truncated at about 255 characters when it merges. I actually think the Access query that sends the merge data to it is truncating the field. Has anyone any suggestions why this may be happening? TIA dixie Hi Dixie, > I have a mailmerge with a memo field that seems to be truncated at about 255 > characters when it merges.

Do you know which data connection method you're using to link the mail merge to Access?

No SP? Then that explains the problem. Office 2000, original release, had a top character number of 255 for text coming through mail merge. SP-1 or SP-2 (can't remember which) changed that (at least for an ODBC connection) to 32,000+ characters.
