    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.

it is possible
My advice is just take evaluation licence and work for a 30 days and see your self.
Other things you may hv to consider is builing good testing framework is time and effert consuming
so should not give too much expectations to superiors.
There is a leaning curve specially if do not have programming background.
Once you pass that leaning curve, it's much efffective and easy.
