Default replacing text in templates

I have a template with bookmarks. In a vb macro I replace the bookmark with
text. I need to know a good technique for doing this.
1. when I use 'times new roman' which is a variable width font counting
characters in the bookmark & inserting text has its problem
2. Tried to use tabs in the bookmark but they count for one character when
they may replace lots of characters.

So what's a good solution to truncate too long strings of text & keep the
resulting text with the same positions of the benchmark. TIA
