Is there any way to limit the number of characters in a memo field to 255? Is it possible to limit the number of characters by using the Validation Text property for the memo field?

If you only want 255 change it to a text field.

I would like the field to be a memo, but the data is being exported to excel. Excel will cut off the rest of the data after 255 characters.

If I change this field from a memo to a text field, will the user be able to format the data, such as having a return, like a memo field?
