SUMMARY
When you perform a mail merge in Publisher 97 the field names may be
truncated when viewing field codes. When you're in Show Field Codes
mode you may find that field names containing more than 63 characters
are truncated in your publication. This is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Publisher 97 limits the length of a specific field name to 63
characters. Databases created outside of Publisher can exceed this
limit; however, when merged into Publisher they are truncated to 254
characters.
