I am working in Word 3.02, and attempting to merge with a data document of approximately 3000 data records. Regardless of whether I send the merged result to the printer or a new document, I keep getting a spurious error message "Data record too long". All of the data records are fine. When I trim the file down to about 100 lines in length, it merges as expected. If anyone has any ideas on merging with large data files, I would appreciate your response. You can mail me here. Thankyou. JOSHUA GOLUB
