Default When merging to Word, some info from cell missing?

Just a guess...

Is the length of the text brought over in the mailmerge about 255 characters?
If yes, then I think you hit a restriction in the way windows passes information
between applications.

I don't know a pretty way around it.

Maybe you can use multiple cells in excel????

Have a document in excel that I'm using Mail Merge to merge it into Word.
When a cell is merged over to Word, it only takes half the infomation from
that cell. Is there any way to get the rest of the information? Is there a
certain number of words or letters that the merged cell is restricted to?
