I am using an excel file as a data source for a Microsoft Word mail merge.
Because some of the cells contain more than 256 characters and I need all of
the information to come across, I have selected the data source to be MS
Excel Worksheets via DDE (*.xls).

However, when I do this, I have noticed that some complete rows of data are
missing - could anyone possibly offer me an explanation of what I may be
doing wrong and how I can ensure that everything in the exel file is picked
up?
