Default Custom Header Error - Too Many Characters

I am creating a custom header for financial statements. It has 238
characters (without spaces) according to Word Count in Microsoft Word. When
I hit enter in Excel to create the header, it says that headers must be less
than 255 characters in length.

I have the first line of the header in BOLD.

Everything I've read so far about headers says it can be as many lines as
you like, and I haven't seen any kind of limitation on character length,
until I went to put in the header.

Is there a work around this?
