This is often a browser limitation depending on the browser and OS. 

large text amounts with:

Win2000 + MSIE 5 -> Error - "This page cannot be displayed

MacOS 9 + MSIE 5 -> Large text can't be pasted into the text field, Cmd+V
has no effect.

MacOS 9 + NNav6 -> the same sized text which causes errors can be pasted
into the text field.

However we have also experienced problems with network filtering software
which had to have some changes before it allowed large text or even moderate
amounts of text to be added in a text field.

Word Documents esp. Word200 creates very large documents with obscure
HTHL/XML. The same words and sentences formatted more simply could fit.

In summary, it's not Manila.
