Selection.TypeText Bug for String Len >= 33683

[Sonny Maou]

Can somebody confirm/deny this issue?

I've got a variable of length 33683 which

Selection.TypeText myVar

does not successfully print... it only prints 100 or so characters
(haven't counted exactly, and don't know which part of the string it is...).

However, if I do this:

halfway = int(len(myVar)/2)
Selection.TypeText left(myVar, halfway)
Selection.TypeText mid(myVar, halfway+1)

it prints everything fine.

Thank you!

Oops! Forgot to mention, this is for a Windows XP + Word 2003
environment only (apparently). It seems to work properly on my other PCs
running Win2K with Word 2002, etc...

Try

Selection.InsertBefore myVar

Hi Sonny,

Yep, ".TypeText" always was limited to 64 kB... with Unicode (2
bytes/character) that's 32767 characters, possibly minus a few.
