The SQL Server help states:

"A table used in a merge publication can have a maximum of 246 columns and a maximum row size of 6,000 bytes".

Does this include the size of a text column? For example if a text column contained 7,000 characters, would the replication fail?

Thanks in Advance

Text, ntext, and image columns only add 16 bytes to the row size of a table. The 16 bytes store a pointer to the page(s) containing their data. The actual contents are not included in the row size.

Good. That's what I was hoping. Thanks.
