Question: What is the max length of the REPLACEMENT text that can be inserted?

 

My tests indicate that the max replacement text length is 250 characters.

Can this me extended?

Seems the max. length is 255 characters.

Here you find a way to bypass this limitation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19533877/error-string-parameter-too-long-at-microsoft-office-interop-word-find-execute
