In A Real Pinch With FreeTextBox / Paste From Word / Ntext Field In SQL2k!

I am in a real squeeze here.  I am working on my first ASP.NET project here and I am having some big problems with a content management aspect of this so far.  I have a freetextbox control that my users want to be able to paste out of Word and save the content to a MSSQL Database.  Well this was working great until I found out that I have a 4000 character limitation, and most of the pasted data is well over 14000 characters at least.

I've been working on these for about two weeks and just have come to a dead end.  Here's what I had before:  Form with Freetextbox that saved the information in the form to a database by calling a function in a class.vb file, the class file then called a stored procedure using parameters.  Similiarly the display page loaded with a record id, and fired off a function stored in a class file, using stored procedures and using output parameters to I could assign the returned values to label fields etc.  This has completely gone down the toilet since i had to change to text field to accomodate the larger text sizes.  I have found some resources about chunking out to the file system, but I really don't want to do that, I just want it to display the information out on a web page, and I have been scouring google for weeks!  Can someone tell me if this the wrong approach?  How do I go about storing / retrieving HTML in an ntext database field just like these forums?  I am completely stumped!
