custom document properties limitation 255 bytes?

[Guest]

hello.
i´ve got problems with a smart word template:
i ´m writing properties into a template via asp,
but there´s a limitation so if i set a propertyvalue with more than
255 bytes, Word "amputates" all further bytes.

is there a possibility to enter more bytes or is it definately limited to
255 bytes??
can fields, that display the custom properties in my document, contain more
bytes?

kindly regards
rayek

DocVariable fields can exceed that limitation, but Document Variables cannot
be created through the UI, only with VBA.
