    Ya, the forum use to do the same thing when you tried to cut and paste from Office Word. It would only post a few lines then cut you off. However, it is now possible to paste from Word without problems....or at least it was last time I tried to do so but that was months ago. Sounds like you are experiencing the same problem with whatever program you are using. Try it with Microsoft Office Word.

    Edit: I can't believe I just recommended the use of a Microsoft product O.o

    The forum has a problem with "special" characters. You will notice that it normally trips up on non-standard apostrophes, quotes, and dashes, though other symbols can also cut off a post.

    Just make sure you replace any of those characters with the normal version of those characters that you'd get if you wrote it up in Notepad with the keyboard, rather than the "fancy" apostrophes and whatnot that Word tries to use.
