MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2007limit to (Text) arg in TypeText() method?
I notice that when I record a new macro from Word (Tools | Macro | Record New Macro) and the macro includes a lot of straight text typing, the resultant code consists of many separate TypeText() statements, each with its (Text) argument consisting of 60 or so characters. Why does Word do it like that? That [Text] arg can be longer than 60 chars, yes? What is the limit? Thanks much.

Thanks much. >Why does Word do it like that? who knows, maybe 60 characters was a nice value to split lines. >That [Text] arg can be longer than 60 chars, yes? indeed. Try: Selection.TypeText Text:= ActiveDocument.Range.Text until system crashes.  SignatureGreetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" Does anyone know what the limit is? I guess I could just try it myself, increasing it until my system crashes! > Hi Rick, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > until system crashes. About 64kB characters (65536), I think. If you need to insert longer text, .InsertAfter is better. Regards, Klaus > Does anyone know what the limit is? I guess I could just try it myself, > increasing it until my system crashes!
