WordBasis insert command -- text length limit

[a]

I am using following code to insert text into the word document, using VB
from excel.

Any text which has length more than 240 characters is not getting inserted
into the document.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks,

' Dimension the variables.
Dim PokeRange As Object
Dim Chan As Integer
Dim i As Long
Dim temps As String
Dim insertS As String

' Create an range object to poke.
Set PokeRange = Range("CheckList!a1")

' Initiate a channel to Word using a file as the topic.
Chan = DDEInitiate("WinWord", templateFile)

' Execute a few WordBasic commands.
DDEPoke Chan, "\StartOfDoc", PokeRange

i = 0
Do While i < 240 9 '(> 240 does not work)

temps = temps & "1"
i = i + 1
Loop

insertS = "[Insert "" " & temps & " "" ]"""

DDEExecute Chan, insertS
'DDEExecute Chan, "[FileSaveAll]"
DDEExecute Chan, "[FileExit]"

' Terminate the DDE channel.
DDETerminate Chan
