Character Limit in Styles Numb. Customize box?

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!

Discussion of this very topic here recently has brought out the fact that
longer labels can be programmed using VBA but cannot be entered through the
UI.
