VBA to get around character limit in UI numb. screen

Hi there,

I need to find out how to create through VBA a way to have a longer label in
a style that appears to be length-restricted. Our exact problem is below. Any
help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Liz


We inherited a styles at our law firm based on Heading 2 that does automatic
numbering. So when you click that style, it says REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION 1 and
when you press enter it goes to REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION 2 and so on. Someone
wanted to use this styles template for doing requests for admissions, so I
copied the template but when I tried to change the word "production" to
"admission" under the style, modify, format, numbering, customize dialog box,
it acted as though there was a character limit, and I could only fit REQUEST
FOR ADMISSIO 1. I tried all kinds of ways to fit it but it wouldn't work.

Is there a limit or is there another way to get this numbering to work?
Everyone says it should be a cinch to change one word to another!
