Is there a recommended way to import records with long text fields into Memento Android without truncation? (I'm using it locally on my device, no cloud)

I'm using a library to store text articles, but I've noticed on some of the longer ones the text is getting truncated. Specifically, this is because the text is being exported as a CSV from Access --> Excel, and there is a character limit in the cell field in Excel. Is there a better way to get a large text field into Memento? Copying & pasting via clipboard also has a character limit. For example, one document is 7590 words (38901 characters). I also wonder if Memento can store the whole text or if there are character limits (which does not seem to be documented)?

I do not have a specific answer for you with regards to Memento, but wanted to point out that Access and Excel do have character limits on text fields. You might try using a "Memo" type field (may be called "Long Text") in Access instead.
