Using
Windows 7 (64bit), Word 2010 and Excel 2010 (32 bit)

I have found that Word 2010 Mail Merge will only allow a field length of 255. My source data is in an Excel spreadsheet.

I have seen a number of old posts that indicate that there is a work around. These were probably aimed at Word 2003 because I can get non of them to work on 2010.

Is there a way round this on Word 2010?

Many thanks,
Roy
