Try formatting that receiving cell (B2?) as General.

Cells formatted as Text have problems when the length of the string is between
255 and 1024.

Are you copying and pasting or are you using a formula that returns the value in
A1?

If your formula looks like:

=a1
make it look more like:
=if(a1="","",a1)

I'm kind of confused at what you're doing.

If you don't get a better response, you may want to rephrase your question.
