Hello,
 
I have a flow to populate a template word file from an excel file using quick part (don't have Word premium connector).
Everything is ok even if i have a special character  or emoji but if i have more than 255 characters i have this yellow message when word document is opened (in word application)
if i take a look to the properties, i can see in red only properties with more than 255 characters - at the beginning i believed it was because i had special charaters.
So here in red xCopy with more than 255 characters
 
Is there a way to not have this error ?

Thanks for you help

    You could use the Encodian connector to populate a word document. Its a standard connector however it is third party. Populate Word Document – Encodian Customer Help

    Hi,
     
    i just tried from my side - with populating a field >255 characters- it worked fine and does not showed up any kind of warning when opened in word application.
     
    Well while searching in web, i found this - see whether below one helps !
