Default Exporting from MS Access to MS Word - maximum number of characters

I ran a report in MS Access and exported to MS Word. The resulting table
"chopped off" several words. Is there a maximum number of characters allowed
in a Word table? Is there a way around this? Many thanks.

Default Exporting from MS Access to MS Word - maximum number ofcharacters

It's difficult to analyze the problem without more detail - including
software *versions* - but I doubt the problem is the Word Table.

Not knowing how you "exported" the "report" leaves a lot of room for
variables as Access Reports don't export to Word as tables in the first
place - they export as Word RTF files. My guess though, is that the text box
controls in whatever the source was were not sufficiently sized based on the
volume of content... If it doesn't display in the Access object it most
likely isn't included in the export. There could also be font issues
involved.
