Slow merges using Word & Excel

C

Craig

Hi - im having a problem when merging data from excel into word.

We typically merge around 10,000 records at a time to a laser printer.
However, when Word reaches roughly 4,000 records, it slows down
dramatically, thus slowing the printer down, too.
This means we have to stop the merge, cut the already merged and printed
data from the excel file, and start again. We use the "merge to printer"
option.

I assume its a memory problem as i know its not a printer or computer
hardware problem.
So the question is this - Is there any way to allocate more memory for
merging? Or is there another solution?

Any help would be much greatfully received!!
