merge limitations

Last year in merging cells from an Excel to a document,
Publisher 2000 had a limitation of 256 characters
(including blanks, punctuation and special characters)
per cell.

Is this still true for Publisher 2003?

I have been able to create a column of cells in Excel
next to the one to be merged that will tell me the size
(length) of the information in the cells so that I don't
exceed the limitation. For the curious: =LEN(A1) Entered
and drug it down the 1,200 entries and found two that
would exceed the limitation.

Chuck what I do on the odd occasion I have required more than 256 characters
in a merge, all I have done is split the information into two fields and
called both fields. You cannot tell the difference.
