Excel to Word Report - Mail Merge (Maximum Recipient/Columns Problem)

Background: I've used Mail Merge in Word to transfer data in Excel into a Word report using the "Letter" document type.

Problem: I have too many columns ("Recipients" in Word = 407) to complete the task. I'm having difficulty figuring out a manageable way for me to work around this issue.

Googling reveals very vague ways to address this problem and I am not proficient enough in VBA for some of the suggestions. Anyone have any thoughts? Thank you.

This page is an interesting read as it speaks about Excel and Word with mail merge in mind too. Have a look at it:

As an update: I ended up reducing the number of fields in the document so I didn't have to worry about the maximum column/recipient issue I encountered.

A temporary solution, but anything permanent would require VBA skills which I don't possess.
