When using the \*CardText for numbers beyond 99,999 I get an error message.
Is there anyway to overcome this?

Here are a couple of ways:

If Val(numtext$) 1000000 Then
Selection.Delete
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, _
PreserveFormatting:=False
Selection.TypeText Text:="=" & Val(numtext$) & " \* CardText"
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes

ElseIf Len(numtext$) 10 Then
