SYMPTOMS
When you use a table for the data document of a print merge in Microsoft Word, an error message may occur.

&quot;Data Record Too Short&quot;

-or-

&quot;Record X Contains too few data fields&quot; (Word 98)



CAUSE
This error indicates that a cell has been deleted from at least one of the records.



RESOLUTION
To avoid this error, make sure that all records have the same number of fields (cells). If a field is blank, do not delete the cell for that field, just move to the next field and leave that cell empty.
