I have been posting a FAQ to a group for awhile, but I seem to have fin into a problem.

Whenever I past the FAQ as a text post into newspro now it seems to be to long to fit and it cuts off some of the end. Its not a problem at the moment since that is just the modifications, but before long it may become one.

Is there a limit to how long a strait text (non atachment) can be in newspro? If so can it be changed, and where. Also what is the limit if it exists.

Currently the doc is just under 30K in size.

I know that I can post it as an atachment, and I do, but I also post it as strait text for those that want to read it that way.

Thanks.

Oh and please keep up the good work with the program. I remember starting out with it a long time ago and strugling. (giving up and then coming back because of the multi server support) I have not regreted it since, and I also apreciate all the support and modifications from user comments.

it is just the windows edit control default which can be easily changed (need to call a function in the code to change it), i wrote a note, if you hit the limit (32K?) before i publish it email me and i'll send you a version with larger limit right away.

No hurry. Its just one of these small things that can be worked around for awhile.

and thanks for the information and potential fix.

and always the contiual support of the program. Makes registration well worth while. :D
