Mailmerge 255 character limit

[Fruitloop123]

I am using MS365 and having a stressful difficulty with the character limit in an excel to word mailmerge. Can someone please help explain in very simple terms if there is a simple workaround so that mailmerge shows above 255 characters? I have tried adding a dummy 1st column into excel with that cell having more than 255 characters as I read elsewhere that this may help, but didn't.



The attached screenshot shows a table in word. Within the table the first mailmerge field correctly shows full text (above 255 characters). However, the 3rd bullet point is restricted to 255 characters. Elsewhere in the document there is a field above 255 characters and this shows fine. How do I get the 3rd bullet point to show in full?!?

Many thanks in advance.
