Error 4609- String Too Long

[Mark L]

Anybody know anything about the string too long error message. I'm copying
form field text from one doc to another using the following line of code:

CurrentDoc.Range.FormFields("ScopeOfRegistration").Result =
OldReport.Range.FormFields("ScopeOfRegistration").Result

And I get the error if the text is too long. The formfields are set to
unlimited text, and I can manually copy from one to the other, so I know it's
not a table row size limitation, but I can't figure out why I am getting this
message. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWFyayBM?=,

Yes, this is a known error, and I'm pretty sure it's documented in the
KnowledgeBase on microsoft.com. As I recall, the trick is to unprotect the
document and add the text directly into the range (IOW, don't use
Formfield(index).Result)
