Bad Strand Length Assert

Question

Hi all,
I am getting the following asserts while i am trying to open a document which was created by using my plugin, i am having some text boxes in which i have placed text from word document (which contains some track change data like strike tru text). With normal text placed in these text boxes i wont get any asserts and the document opens correctly, but with the documents containing word data i am getting the following asserts and indesign crashes, can anybody guide me in this regards.
ASSERTS
Bad strand length, class id = kFrameListBoss, strandLength = 535, modelLength = 541
ValidateTextModel - length of strands are out of sync.

This is not a bug on tabular forms. You will have to add a length check using one of these methods. (I am not being rigorous here on syntax, you may need to search the forum for better examples.)
You can create a page validation (pl/sql body) after submit, that checks the length of a g_fxx(i) column in a loop. Search the forum for g_fxx examples.
or Apply a little Javascript. Under the query's report attributes, you can add this js to the column's Element attributes: onfocus="this.setAttribute('maxLength','80');
or dive into Dynamic actions using jQuery selectors...
td[headers='my column name'] input
(execute javascript action)
this.triggeringElement.setAttribute('maxLength','80');
The Apex team may provide a method for setting the length in the future but these are the options you have now.
