= SUMMARY =

Converting text to a graphic in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 3.0x limits the original text size to 5.5 inches or less. Anything taller than 5.5 inches results in the message “Selection is too tall, the picture will be truncated.”

This limitation is changed to the height of the current page in Word 4.0 and later. That is, if US Letter (8.5 x 11&quot;) is selected in Page Setup, and the top and bottom margins are set to 1 inch each, then the maximum length of text that is allowed to be copied to a graphic is 9 inches. If those margins are reduced to 0.5 inch each, then 10 inches of text is allowed.
