Any ideas?Sorry, we had to limit the format to a maximum of 255 characters. Anything beyond that gets chopped off at 255. We'll add it to the feature request database.In the meantime, you can format each individual subsection so that the total sum of lengths adds to 1400. Just remove the outer format tag, and make sure the inner ones add up to 1400.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
