MailMerge limitation

I was merging a list of 1000 names to a 1 page letter.
However, in the final steps of merging the letter to the names, Word hangs at the record number 119.

Is there a default limit for the max. pages or lines?
How can I change this default.

There's no limitation that I can find.

I suggest that you look for a problem in record 119. If you cannot find one, then type the one record into another data file and mailmerge into the document...

If it still does not work, then someting is wrong with that line.

Try the entire mailmerge data file without that record and see where else, if at any, other record it hangs at.

You need to get at whether this is a record problem or some other physical problem.

I tested by selecting from records 110 for merging. Ms Word stops responding when it reaches record 229. It seems that the merging cannot continue above 119 records and this is consistent from whichever record I begin with.
