st: truncation with -word- function

Hello,
I have encountered a problem with the -word- function.
Suppose zzz is a macro containing a long list of names. An expressions such as
word("`zzz'", 20)
cuts off after the 245th character of `zzz'.
Does anyone know of a way around this?
I use Stata 10.
Thanks
--David
