Re: String too long...

Mike,

I am not certain that I understand what you are really trying to do,
but you mention find, replace, and long strings. Perhaps this will
help:

It is harder to articulate the question!

But why do you want to use the Selection?The objective is to go beyond the 255 character limitation of (range).Text.
The same problem applies to (selection).Text

The recommended solution is in the MS KB article. I believe they're not
saying you must use Form Fields. I believe the gist is that they're saying
Selection.TypeText will accept and utilize an already allocated buffer. As
opposed to copying a string into the .Text buffer that can only accept 255
characters.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181110Using the Range object try to Find a Tag <myTag> and then replace the tag
with a long string myLongString.
