Merge field not showing everything in Word 2000

M

Matt H.

I am currently merging a Word document with an Excel document. The Excel document contains some fields that have data that is greater than 255 characters. I can get it to work on every computer except two. I have gotten it to work in Word 2000/2002/XP. It's currently not working on two computers with Word 2000. Is there any setting on the computers with Word 2000 that I can set to make it work like the other computers with Word 2000?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWF0dCBILg==?=,
I am currently merging a Word document with an Excel document. The Excel document

contains some fields that have data that is greater than 255 characters. I can get it to
work on every computer except two. I have gotten it to work in Word 2000/2002/XP. It's
currently not working on two computers with Word 2000. Is there any setting on the
computers with Word 2000 that I can set to make it work like the other computers with Word
2000?I'm guessing that it's a question of how Word is linking to the data. If you activate the
"Select method" checkbox in the Open Data source dialog box of a "good" and a "bad" Word
2000 installation, you should get a list of available connection methods. Are the contents
of the two lists the same? And is the same method preselected in both cases?
