Hi Chris,

Mailmerge in Word can handle memo fields with more than 255 characters. However, your query may be truncating the memo field - see http://allenbrowne.com/ser-63.html for possible causes. For a detailed discussion, and some workarounds you might try, see also http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...4-f39cc70df485
