Re: enlarge the size of the field "macropod" <macropod[ at ]invalid.invalid> 11/14/2008 12:38:23 AM Hi Lynsay, Presumably you're referring to a field in your datasource - one doesn't ordinarily type anything into fields in mailmerge documents (ASK & FILLIN fields are the main exceptions, for which the character limit is about 200). In addition, aside from any limitations imposed by your data source, you may run up against a 255 character limit for mergefields with some connection methods. AFAIK, you can get around this by specifying the DDE connection method. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Lynsay" <Lynsay[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EC599902-94F1-4BA7-83A3-B4B18B2D9C3C[ at ]microsoft.com...
