Excel mail merge to Word table
I have a user who is trying to merge data from Excel to MS Word table. The
merge works fine until about the 67th row. At that point data appears toward the end of the row in the wrong column. Is it possible for Excel to have "hidden character codes" which would cause this? I did notice that the Excel data in the particular cells that are not placed correctly are 255 characters. Is there a limitation in Word? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

There can certainly be problems. Some of them and some ways you can try to overcome them are described at http://www.pjmsn.me.uk/t0003.htm I wouldn't claim that the article describes everything that could possibly go wrong, but you may find a way through there.
