Is there a size limit of the data that can be passed to a bookmark?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?SkpvbGs=?=,
Word tends to limit strings to 512 characters for a lot of things. If
that's what's happening to you, the work-around is to add
successively to the range, rather than passing the string in one long
mass.

Using the object model, you mean? Show us the code?

Sorry that it took me so long to get back to this. I'm still thinking
through ideas of how to accomplish a task. I have two applications
generating data for a letter I want to generate. One application will have
all the detail I want to include in the letter and it is a web based system.
It would be easier for me to add the high level detail and address my letter
from a windows based application and print the letter from the windows app.
I have an existing module for printing letters that I would like to work
with. The existing system uses letter templates with bookmarks and code to
retrieve the data for each bookmark and then prints the letter.
I'm wondering if it is possible to have my web based system create the
detail or most of the body of my letter and store the 'letter' in SQL server
as text in the format of word or pdf. Then merge this data onto my template
which has bookmarks for the name and address info and then print using my
current system.
So the main point of my question is how to 'merge' the formatted data from
the web application into a template already used in the windows application.
Hence my first question about data size limitations.
