Problem inserting string into Text Form Field

I am taking Text Field values from an Outlook Form and
inserting them into a Text Form Field in a Word Doc. When
I try to insert a Description from the Outlook form into a
Text Form field in Word I am getting the error, "Run-time
error '4609'; String to long".

Properties on the Text form field are max len:unlimited
and the Description string is not even close to 32,767.
Type is Regular Text.

My question is why is this happening?

Also, is there a better technique for moving the data to
Word and inserting the data in exactly the desired
position.?

Any help is most appreciated.
