Too many data fields

[robgraham]

Word 2000 is telling me I've got too many data fields in Record 1, 2, 3,
etc, when I try to merge these with a form letter. But I believe I can have
up to 63 and I've only got 13, of which I'm using 10. Why have I apparently
got too many?

Whatever you have in those 13 fields, Word sees more than 13 for those
records it reports in error.
A common reason is a comma in a field being misinterpreted as a field end
marker.

Thanks Graham. I found that the best thing to do was to close it down and
start again. It's fine now.
