here is the fix I had to end up doing. I read online that Word looks at the first 8 entries to see if they are over 255 characters, if they are not then it truncates anything over 255 characters SO i added an arbitrary bit of text to the first field So that it was over 255 characters. Then word let all the field be over 255 characters.
