So, I've inserted the code after "StrTxt = ActiveDocument.Path & Application.PathSeparator & StrTxt" an now, instead of "string has more than 255 characters" i receive the 5487 error: "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error", but it stops where it used to stop before ("string too long"). it generates the exact 3 documents it used to generate before but with a different error.
