Captivate 5 - Variable character display limitation?

When displaying any Variable result, I am encountering a 15 character display limitation.  Is this a system limitation? If so, does a method to expand beyond 15 characters exist?  If not a system forced limitation - how do you expand the number of characters that are displayed when using Variable returns?

I am using a User Variable named EMAIL - the entry can be somewhat lengthy.  The return is consistently cut off at 15 characters.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

    As soon as I posted - I found a reference in a help file referring to "creation" of a text Variable.  Appears that the character limit can only be set upon "creation" of the Text Box as I can not find the Character field once the Text Box containing the Variable has been created.

    I know this post is old, but is there any way you'd consider sharing where you found this reference?  I can't replicate it anywhere...

    Thanks very much.
