Why is my merge data being truncated?

S

Sandy

Is this what you would call a feature of Word or a limitation or a problem. I
would just like to know if it will be corrected as I see it as a problem.

I did also find this post in Word...Mailmerge and Fax

Ok, It turned out that Mail merge has its limits. With
the converter method at seems that all text was merged
from out the excel database. But at a closer look, the
problem still appeared to a few merge fields. So in 80
percent the mail merge field contains all the data (for
example 600 characters) and in 20 percent the 255
characters appeared instead of the full data.

I have called Microsoft and they did know about this
thread, but didn't came up with a solution.

Could anyone help me with this problem?

why is this limitation of 255? It is exactly 2 byte...but if
you select Options and
then use an
