Indesign data merge and a very arge csv file

$

Hello all,

 

I have a bit of an issue with data merge. I have about 35 product sell sheets, all with the same categories. I am trying to do this via data merge in indesign (ind cs6). Now the csv file that I am using is very large. It has about 75 columns in it. Some of the columns have a lot of text like the ingredients for each product which can be up to 200 words or more. My problme is that when I create a merged documnet I am only getting the first 6 columns to populate the document.

 

I have tried everything: taking out all myspaces in the header rows, eliminating all the empty columns etc. Funny thing is when I delete the first 6 columns and try again, the next 6 will populate just fine.

 

Is there some sort of column imit in the csv file?

 

I cannot figure this out for the life of me and have read every forum I can get my hands onbut they all seem to talk about business cards, envelopes or building a simple catalog template, nothing that includes this much information to be  merged.

 

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

 

Mike
