editing books FO4edit or G.E.C.K

Silly question really, but I want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if FO4edit is simply not capable of doing what I want it to do and that I'll have to wait for the G.E.C.K. to come out.

(Skip the following part if you don't like long explanations)

I was building up sanctuary and decided to make a library. Books are a necessity, as most people in the fallout world do not have pipboys around their wrists. Simple enough, right? Take a mesh, play around with it in nifskope, placing the triangles of pages outside of the book inside and voila, you have a usable mesh. Edit the texture a bit and bingo, you have the basis for a usable and readable book. (or, if it's possible, I could even try to import meshes and textures from Skyrim, but I haven't tried this option yet)

(stop skipping here)

The problem is that, every time I want to add more than 1 line, like in Skyrim's books, or even Piper's final article, FO4edit won't let me. I can only write a limited amount of letters, numbers, etc. before it simply refuses to add more. I've tried copying and pasting from notepad, but it simply cuts off mid-sentence or even mid-word. My question is, am I doing something wrong or is FO4edit not the suitable tool to edit the texts in books?

TIA for the answer

I haven't used FO4edit yet for anything however I would say if you are getting results from changing some aspects you are doing the process correctly and if you want more you will have to wait for the GECK. Check the other books and text which has the same amount of text you are using and see if there is some step that was missed otherwise... sorry I believe you will have to wait. However I could be wrong.
