Default Failed merge at 500+ docs

Hi All,
My first time posting so please be kind! I have tried to search for a solution, but no luck.

I have a user on a government networked Office 2013 trying to merge into Word approximately 3-4,000 records into one document then print. However, despite all efforts when it gets to finish and merge to then print and it cannot cope with more than 500/600 documents and they have to complete the printing in batches.

The error message is "The save failed due to out of memory or disc space". We have tried this on various different methods including taking off the network and increasing to 8GB of RAM with no luck it still gives the same error. We have also tried converting to PDF and still failing.

On occasions there is a need to print up to 30,000 letters (only once a year thankfully!) so I need a solution.

We are due to move some users to Windows 10/Office 2016 and wondered whether there would be any benefits here, but I would like to understand if this is a problem I can solve for this user. Any advice welcome.

Many thanks

NK
