How to do a mail merge with more than 255 Columns

[calof1]

Hi,

I have an excel which has 1270 columns to import into word document using mail merge.

However i have noticed i have been unable to go beyond 255 columns worth of merge field.

Is there a work around?

Thank you for any any assistance.

Kind regards,
