I would like to allow user to enter short paragraphs. Also would like to
link canned messages into a paragraph format but to do this I need to go
beyond 255 characters.

Dennis, you need to clearly state the question, but grasping from your
message it seems you need a Memo field which hold more than the standard
Text data type.

Use a memo field for strings longer than 255 characters.
