How to set a value to TEXT column

Hi, everybody,
I tried, to paste a clipboard content into an empty text column,
and then to show the content of the text column
by using a select command, but unfortunatelly the original text was
truncated.
does anyone know, how to correctly set a value into a text type column
using standard SQL Server tools such as Enterprise manager or Query
analyzer (but w i t h o u t writting an insert/update command)?
thanks

Sorry, it's not possible. Those tools are not meant to be used for data
entry. You'll have to write INSERTs/UPDATEs.
