Hi I’m hoping someone out there can help, I have a word form, full of bookmarks, I want it to reproduce the data from one part of the form to another, it works great all over the form appart from one field, because it’s over 255 chars. the code I’ve been using is

ActiveDocument.FormFields(“request4”).Result = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(“Reason”).Range.Fields(1).Result

and it works perfectly all over appart from this one that is too big, I have used the imediate window to see that “ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(“Reason”).Range.Fields(1).Result” is the entire text string but it’s just not going into the other location. if it’s less that 255 it works. please help, I need this to work with up to 700 chrs,

oh and the form field sizes have been tried at the standard unlimited and set to 1000 in both cases it still fails.

Please help

OK, so I cheated, I split the original into 2 diff strings using Left & Mid then pushed it into two adjacent bookmarks, cheating I know but it works for me :slight_smile:
