    Your talking about the physical size and not character limit correct?

    If thats the case you can edit the templates that display the field and manually enter a size replacing the smarty var.

    around line 210 find this:
    PHP:
                    <textarea name="description" class="desc" id="description" cols="35" rows="4" onblur="textCounter(this.form.description,this.form.remLentext,{$cCharacters});" onKeyUp="textCounter(this.form.description,this.form.remLentext,{$cCharacters});">{$description|escape}</textarea><br />
    cols="35" <- this is the width
    rows="4" <- This is the height

    Yip that's it...
    But what if I want to change the character limit?
    Must that the $cCharacters variable increase? Where can I do this? (Designer version)
    Thanks

    This is defined in your 68C admin control panel. Payment -> manage products -> new product or modify an old one . You can limits for title, short description and description. In addition a number of other things.
