It depends partly on the version of Word and Excel and how you are
connecting to the data source.
There's certianly a problem with Word 2002/2003 and probably 2007 where, if
the first 8 cells (rows) in that text column all have 255 characters or less
in them, all the cells in the column will be treated as "text" rather than
"memo" and any longer than 255 characters will be truncated. You might be
able to fix this problem using the DDE option described at
