    I did figure this out.

     

     Log.Message T1.WndCaption
     Set OCRObjWord = OCR.CreateObject(T1)
     Set OCROptionsWord = OCRObjWord.CreateOptions
     
      ' Add font to the Options object.
      Set FontItem = OCROptionsWord.Fonts.Add
     
      ' Specify the font name.
      FontItem.Name = "Arial"
     
      ' Add the font size.
      Call FontItem.Sizes.Add(10)
     
      ' Add the bold style.
      Call FontItem.Styles.Add(1)
     
      ' Call the GetText function with the specified options.
      Call Log.Message("Recognized word: " + OCRObjWord.GetText(OCROptionsWord))

     

    I can use the OCR to look at what is actually displayed and compare that to the field value is. If what is displayed is shorter, then the string is cut off.

I would expect that what is actually displayed is an object property of some sort, and that's compared in the same way as the example you gave.  What we frequently do is enter a value in a field from some variable and then fetch the value from the field directly to log it or compare it.
