Merge Data problem from Excel to Word

A

I developed a spreadsheet and accompanying Word report templates in Office
2003 on Windows. When I go to use them on a Mac with Office 2004 I am
getting some unusual behavior. Particularly with large merge fields, when
they come over into Word the merge data is truncated or worse, it gets
truncated and all the characters have an underscore between them l_i_k_e
t_h_i_s. This renders my reports useless. Has anyone ever run into this
problem? I can't seem to find any documentation on this anywhere.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You might want to try the Word Mail Merge forum and see if you get a response
there. I don't have any experience with the Mac version of Office but maybe
it's some sort of file format compatibility issue.

Yeah, I posted the question over there as well. I've gotten some response,
but no solution yet. Thanks!
