Default value of a text-formfield > 256 characters

[Michael]

Hi,

My question is: How can I put more than 255 characters in
the formfields default value?

The next code fills my text-formfield perfect wth more
than 256 characters:

Dim FmFld As FormField, Str1 As String
Str1 = (a long string > 256 characters)
FmFld.Range.Fields(1).Result.Text = Str1

Or if you're referring to the formfield by name:
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Text1").Range.Fields

Selecting the entire document (<ctrl> + <a>) and updating
it (<F9>) will fill the formfield with it's default value.
But I can not get more than 255 characters into the
default value.

How do I put more than 255 characters in it's default
value. the next code will not work:

Activedocument.Formfields("Text1").Textinput.Default = Str1
The formfields default code will lose everything after the
a certain position (about 255).

How can I put more than 255 characters in the formfields
default value?

The solution that they write works only temporarely.

When you update the field, information will be lost.
Therefor you have to fill the formfields default value.

So I hope yoy have an other idea!

The question is:

How to put more then 256 characters in the
formfields "Default" value?

The question is not: how to put text in the formfield?

By putting text in the Default property it remains there.
Even if you update the field
