agent word merge crashed on 1000 row compliance matrix

agent word merge crashed on 1000 row compliance matrix: how to fix it

A 1000 row merge in one pass exhausts memory or time. Split the matrix into 200 row batches, merge each batch to its own document, then combine the documents.

When to use this skill

• Word merge crashes on a large matrix
• Merge works on small matrices but dies on the full one

When not to use this skill

• Merge completes with wrong data (a mapping issue)
• Word itself crashes (a client issue, not the agent)

Before you start

• Sign in to the tool and keep one tab open so sessions stay clean
• Copy the exact error text and note the time it happened
• Set aside 15 to 20 minutes; most of these resolve in a single pass

Quick diagnosis

Make sure this is the right skill before you invest the 15 minutes.

• If you are dealing with word merge crashes on a large matrix, start at step 1 below.
• If instead merge completes with wrong data (a mapping issue), stop here; you need a different skill.
• If neither quite matches, compare your screen against the verbatim error block at the top; that block is exactly what this skill covers.

Fix it in steps

1. Split the matrix into 200 row batches

Divide the source data into batches of 200 rows.

Expected: Expected: five batches for a 1000 row matrix.

2. Merge each batch separately

Run the Word merge on one batch at a time.

Expected: Expected: each batch produces a document.

3. Combine the batch documents

Append the batch documents in order.

Expected: Expected: one document with all 1000 rows.

4. Verify the row count

Count the rows in the combined document.

Expected: Expected: count matches the source.

Confirm each step worked

Run through this checklist before moving on. If a check fails, redo that step instead of pushing ahead.

• Step 1 (split the matrix into 200 row batches): Expected: expected: five batches for a 1000 row matrix.
• Step 2 (merge each batch separately): Expected: expected: each batch produces a document.
• Step 3 (combine the batch documents): Expected: expected: one document with all 1000 rows.
• Step 4 (verify the row count): Expected: expected: count matches the source.

Quick recap

1. Split the matrix into 200 row batches
2. Merge each batch separately
3. Combine the batch documents
4. Verify the row count

Still stuck?

Gather three things: the exact error text, the time it happened, and what changed just before it broke. Check the vendor status page for an active incident. Then open a support ticket with those three things; it cuts the back-and-forth in half. For agent runs, attach the last 50 lines of the agent log too, since the loop or timeout signature in the log usually names the cause.

Variant phrasings

agent word merge crash large matrix

Batch the merge. If this matches what you saw, the steps above apply as written.

agent 1000 row matrix merge failed

200 row batches survive. If this matches what you saw, the steps above apply as written.

Why it happens

Mail merge holds the whole result set in memory, and 1000 rows of rich compliance text exceeds what the merge engine handles in one pass. Batching keeps each pass small; combining documents is cheap.

Edge cases

• Sort the source before batching so the combined document stays ordered
• Keep headers on every batch document for easier verification
• Test with two batches before committing to the full run
