String size problem.

Hello again 4 you all...

In my application i have a TextBox named "Me.txt_catre.Text" and a MS Word File (.doc) containig "<<03>>" word that must be replaced with the value from TextBox...

I use this peice of code...

                    With myStoryRange.Find
                        .Text = "<<03>>"
                        .Replacement.Text = Me.txt_catre.Text
                        .Wrap = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindContinue
                        .Execute(Replace:=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll)
                    End With

The problem is... if the "Me.txt_catre.Text" contains more than 255 characters as a string... the application gives me error...

What solution i have to place more than 255 chars into that MS Word file ?

Thanks in advice!

its likely a limitation specificly with the find/replace methods of the word object model. I would imagine if you were to do something like, remove the <<03>> and then insert the text you want in its place (versus trying to do a find/replace) then it would probably work fine.

I just can't figure out how can i do this... i've tried in many ways... Word.Interop it drives me NUTSS..
