Encrypting full word using Paillier Scheme

I am using Paillier scheme to encrypt a message however, I have divided the words into alphabets and then convert each alphabet to ASCII code encrypting the final result. It works fine, but I want to encrypt each word. It this possible?

As by encrypting each alphabet the size of encrypted file increases 10 times.

In the most common variant of Paillier encryption with public modulus $n$, any plaintext in $[0,n)$ can be encrypted and decrypted (though sometime the interval is slightly reduced, or centered on zero). To be secure, Pailler encryption needs $n$ to have unknown factorization. That means like at least 1024-bit $n$ (with 2048-bit or more highly recommendable). That allows encrypting 127 (or 255) bytes. That's more than enough for UTF-8 encoding of any word in an English or French dictionary (I have no idea for others).

If encrypting character by character with Paillier encryption increases size by 10 only, then $n$ is at most 40-bit, and the encryption is thus not secure.

It's unusual to use Paillier encryption on text: it's primarily used when it's homomorphic property is useful. For text, practice is hybrid encryption, which allows arbitrary large plaintext.
