When I iterate through each character in a paragraph I can only see the
first 256 characters. Is this a known limit? I'm iterating through each
character in order to pick up character styles to dump into an XML file
(unless someone has a better way?). Here's my code:

'   myPara holds a reference to a paragraph Object
    For Each myChar In myPara.Characters
        Debug.Print myChar.TextContents & myChar.Index
    Next

However, both of these return the correct info:

Debug.Print myPara.Characters.Count
Debug.Print myPara.TextContents
