Default Max length of TrueText in IF Statement?

I am creating an IF statement in Office for Mac 2011. The only merging that is happening is within the IF statement, but that's not my issue. I am trying to update the field code to test if the "Truetext" can be several lines line and/or contain a paragraph break.

Example:

{IF { MERGEFIELD Salesforce.Custom_Field__c \* MERGEFORMAT } <> "" "add a ton of Terms & Condition text right here and see if I can include

a paragraph break." \* MERGEFORMAT }

Here are my challenges:
- When trying to use the Insert > Field... > IF option within Word, I can't cut and paste the long text into the field the wizard gives me.
- In the .DOC, with field codes exposed, if I try to paste in the long text into the IF field, and then highlight the whole gray-shaded field, and do a right-mouse-button click "Update Field", and then save the document, the updates are not updated.

What else am I missing?
