Mail Merge limit of 255 charachters per field

Has anyone overcome the limitation of the mailmerge of 255 characters
per merged field?
I have memo fields that I want to merge into Word but they are
truncated when merged because of this limit.
Thanks

David, I have not had any difficulty merging memo fields from Access 2000
into Word 2000 using automation from inside Access 2000. Is this how you
are doing it - from within Access via automation or are you doing it
directly in Word and having it look at queries or tables in an Access
database?
