CR XI Professional - My report only shows the first 255 characters in a description field, the remaining text is cut off. 
 
I am using an excel spreadsheet for my database (excel 2003)  I have a description column in excel.  Some of the excel cells have 300-400 characters other cells have 100 characters.  The smaller cells show all text in CR but the large cells are cut off at 255.   
 
How can I get CR to read all characters from the excel spreadsheet??

Is the "can grow" option turned on?

The Can Grow option is on the common tab of the format editor.
