slow merging issue

[ernie]

is there any way to fix the merging issue associated with
word xp when you have more than 250 fields without
upgrading to word 2003 right away. word 2003 is supposed
to allow for faster sorting through records and a more
rapid merge to print function

If you have tried all the connection methods (and in this case, I do not
think changing them will help anyway) then I know of no way to improve
performance in Word 2002. I would definitely want to test my merge on Word
2003 before committing to an upgrade though.
