Thanks Paul,

I suspect it may also be a bug in its VBA equivalent. I'll find out. If I find a workaround, I'll let you know.
I have tried to add to the text range by increments of data, with a second instruction:
set content of its text range to slide_content1 --> say 200 char.
set content of its text range to content of its text range & slide_content2 --> say 200 char.
but the text range stubbornly refuses to take, programatically, more than 255 characters. If I do it manually in PowerPoint after the slide has been created, the text range accepts it!
Last resort: create a second slide, since after all it's not a good idea to have overstuffed, unreadable slides. I use this script to create a PowerPoint presentation from a Word document for educational and legal marketing purpose.
It's a bug. The same thing happens in VBA (actually 256 characters there.) Yes, it works OK in the UI. But VBA in PowerPoint Windows has no such limitation, not even in PPT 97, which has the same version of VBA (5.0). I'll report it as a bug.
