He means to print more than 50 characters in the first post in this topic. Which report is @netracer referring to?

The DB field is TINYTEXT and this should be more than enough for 50 chrs so maybe you have to give more details. Encoding and used language, do you see the full description or just 50 ch in the DB, do you use " or ' in the description etc.
Give some real example...

As a start try to change the field size and see if that satisfies the entry. Then change the font size on display/print.

Anyone out there has a solution?

Otherwise have to resort to shortening the description to below 50 characters - 7000+ items

i mean for each item description - it works fine for Sales Order / Invoice. Same item as being entered as PO to be sent to supplier has been shortened to 50 characters.

am using comments for shipping instructions / payment advise details.

If you need more than 50 characters, couldn't you just use the Comment field for that?
