Office 2007 Word Mail Merge text field cut off

[djsmith]

I am using an Excel file for my data source. One of my text fields has 335
characters including spaces and is being cut off at 255 characters including
spaces. I have checked "Confirm File Format Conversion on Open". but this has
not resolved the issue as indicated in earlier versions of Office. Has anyone
found a resolution to this issue in Office 2007?

Have you tried the different methods of connecting to the data source that
are available when "Confirm File Format Conversion on Open" is checked?

Yes, I have tried the various methods of connecting to the data source that
are available. However, these do not correct the issue.

Try re-arranging your data so that the record with the 335 characters is the
first record in the data source.
