Default Limitation to Copy/Paste

I created a document with 1 million characters. Copied and then pasted into
another document. Only 10,425 characters transferred. Is there a copy/paste
limitation?

Default Limitation to Copy/Paste

Maybe there is a limit, although I've never seen it documented. But why are
you doing this through the clipboard? Why not use Insert File instead? (Or
in Word 2007, Insert Object Text From File)
