Hi guys,
I've a pretty large database in excel that's being used to merge to a mail merge doc. The database stretches to column MX but word is only picking up to column IV.
How can I get word to pick up the rest of the data as I need it in the mail merge document?
Thanks for helping!

My understanding is that there's a limit to the columns. Seems to be that a comma delimited file may work or at least by knowing the column name you may be able to still insert it.
I haven't found any clear reference on a definite solution but maybe give the top two suggestions a try?
You have a huge file so it's certainly outside the normal rules!
Best wishes and good luck!
Cheers

Hey Damien,
Thanks a million for replying - looks like the csv has done the trick.
Yes it's a big baby of a file! Keeping me busy.
Really appreciate your input.
