Mail Merge not merging all records

[Kore]

Hi!

I'm having a small problem with a mail merge for my company's mas
mailing. The Word merge printed only 800 of a total of 2000 records fo
one of the deals we send out. A few of the other deals were missing
few hundred as well. The rest of the deals all printed out fine. Whe
we removed the 800 records that did print, we still were only able t
merge about 900 of the remaining 1200 records of the deal. The last 30
records just didn't merge into Word at all. We've set up no queries o
filters of any sort, so I was wondering if this is a problem found i
Word or not. Does it have something to do with the quantity of records
As mentioned, the first deal had about 2000 records. The other one
that got shorted weren't nearly as large, but they were still over 50
or so. The ones that all printed correctly were around 100 or less.

Thanks :

Hi Kore,

Which version of Word are we discussing, and what's the data source?
