I have a user that is trying to convert a mailmerge form word perfect & lotus
123 to Ms word & excel the issue that they are having is that In the prior
merge they have between 95 and 105 mm fields in one document and in ms word
2000 it is limited to 60. does anyone know a workaround or if the 2003 allows
more than 60.

There is no limit on the number of mergefields as far as the mail merge main
document is concerned. What limits there are, are imposed by the data
source. In the case of Excel, you are limited by the maximum number of
columns A to IV which I believe comes to 256.

Hope this helps.
