Mac Forum / Applications / Word / December 2007Mail Merge stops at 255 Characters
I have browsed and searched... In Office 2007, merging Excel values into Word, is there any way to ensure cells with more than 255 characters are trnasferred in their entirety? Ta I believe there is, but I'm not sure it's exactly the same in PC Word as it is in Mac Word - this is the newsgroup for the latter. If you follow the link below you'll find the correct group - there is one dedicated to mail merge issues: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx  SignatureRegards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac >I have browsed and searched... > In Office 2007, merging Excel values into Word, is there any way to ensure > cells with more than 255 characters are trnasferred in their entirety? > Ta Have a look at http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0003.htm and see if any of the suggestions in there works for you.
