Re: limit to (Text) arg in TypeText() method?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

65534 is the max.

Try --

selection.TypeText string(65535, "X")

About 64kB characters (65536), I think. If you need to insert longer text,
.InsertAfter is better.

Does anyone know what the limit is? I guess I could just try it myself,
increasing it until my system crashes!

Hi Rick,

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.

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.
