There seems to be a character limit in a text box no matter how large I make it. Is it possible to change the limit?

Not near 10,000. I have around 3,000. It just stops typing. If I copy/paste from Word it only pastes part of it.

Windows was set at 10K, Mac at ~2048. I've updated the Mac to be the same as PC in the next build.

If you are on a Mac, you will need the next update. (Just corrected a few hours ago...)

If you are on a PC, I would need to know more about your steps.

Did you try pasting text into the text box directly or did you try pasting I to the inspector when the text box is selected

You can try pasting the text into a text editor like notepad++ program and then look for special characters that might be effecting pasting it in the text box

Copy and paste from a basic text editor into the text box

I wrote the text in Word and have pasted it directly into the text and tried pasting it into the inspector. When I paste it in the text box it only pastes up to 2047 char. When I paste in to the inspector it pastes all the text but doesn't format the paragraphs. When I go into the text box to add the paragraphs it starts deleting text.
